What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[scitzz]

Might be able to help you with that if you have a cot, bacon and coffee. Cot optional.

My opinion of you just went up about 6 notches

Charlie! Epic trip! I am SO jealous!

Thanks, that would be very helpful, but my biggest problem would be taking the 8-9 hour drive out there, then finding a way to get it towed back here.
I am not sure if the only truck I have access to would be able to make the trip there, let alone towing a car back.

If I find a good body out here in the junkyard I buy cars from, I'll let you know and I can even help you get clean paperwork for it for the cost of two title transfers. (one into my name, then from me to you)

Yep, drive it till the body rusts off. Which it has already started that long ago, lol.

Sad to say though that I am probably the guy with the most rusty, beat up Festy on this website and still drives it. Mainly since it is my only car. (Sucks being poor.) The damn thing turned into a money pit, paid $400, have around $400-$500 into it, and the damn thing still looks like it is fit for the scrap heap, and more and more problems keep rearing their ugly heads everyday.

I don't know how many more years it is going to be on the road, hoping to fine a non runner with a good body with minimal to no rust for cheap and just swap the motor out of this one.

That's the beat thing to do with a Festy: drive it!

Figured I'm putting 250 miles on it a week. Starting to think about a 2013 1.0 ecoboost Fiesta...

Topped up the coolant and drove it. That's about it. :p

Tried to change my wiper blades with the 3 or 4 sets of refills the PO included with it. Not a single one of them was the right size.

Too long? Cut 'em down.
Too short? Too bad.

I took my wife out on a drive in mine. Developed what sounds suspiciously like a small hole in the muffler. That's of little consequence though; there are big plans about to be realized for the silver bullet. A stock muffler is most certainly not part of those plans.

Sent from the bathroom via crapatalk.

^^ that sucks Kellen

tonight I checked fuel pressure and did a leak down test.

Pushed it out of the garage, hosed it off, and getting ready to put it up on jackstands...
To FINALLY start the actual B6 swap. The new B6 engine is all done, sans the few parts that will be used off the old B3. Once the old B3 is out, I will pressure wash the engine bay, patch some minor rust on the lower radiator support and the heart transplant will begin. I suspect I have about 4-5 weeks before the weather turns too cold to work outside. Plenty of time if I can stay on task.

Officially completed a trans continental voyage from Fiesta Island, SD-CA to Roanoke Island, NC. Ten Days, two coasts and two Festiva events!

Awesome.

I took it to church to clean out a classroom. The church was throwing away a bunch of things. Two chalkboards, a bunch of small sturdy wooden children's chairs, a stereo, and some other odds and ends. I was helping clean out but also scored some stuff to sell craigslist.
