Hey guys Not much really to report but I did get my interior light to work( I forgot to ground it), I went through the taillight harness issues I have been having big mess but all taken care of for now I'm thinking of eliminating the factory connectors due to corrosion. I also replaced seat-belt pieces from Bigblock's first Festiva, because I was tying them in a knot at the buckle.
On the project for powering my vent windows, thanks for the video links they where cool. I happen to have a set from a Dodge Caravan with the center council with the switches that control the servos. My problem is that My brother packed them away and I'm not sure where they are exactly.
Future goals are taking care of the oil leak, sway-bar bushings, boil out the heater core, add insulation, and get those servos added in.

Installed my Ipod cable on my Panasonic head unit. No more hookin' pod to headphone jack. Sounds GREAT, & can see whats playin' on the head unit face plate.

Tinted the back windows. Not a great job, but the tint serves the purpose. Bought some new foot pedal covers due to the rubber coverings falling off the originals. Found a local metal fabricator in the phone book that may be able to help me with my rusted undercarriage. Replaced a rim weight that had fallen off. The steering wheel still rattles at around 65, but not nearly as bad as it did.
This is all in the past week, but I would have a post about every day and yall would get tired of hearing about the mundane stuff

Great Googelee-Moogelee! At the gas station yesterday, my key broke off in the ignition switch! :eeeeeek: And of course, it's the only key I have! :eeeeeek: :eeeeeek:
I extracted it, and man I was prayin' that there was enough left so that the Wal-Mart guy could make a working copy. He took one look at the broken key & started muttering, "oh no, oh no!" in his heavy Indian accent.

FestYboy rolled in about 4 PM, and he got Boopstiva to start!
Too bad it won't be ready in time for the meet, but she will be rolling in a couple weeks!
Rode to Laurel's, and got some bad news, engine is probably just plain dead
