What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Advancedynamix]

I hate/love how good you are at everything. Even with panels removed you make it look factory.

Advanced, that looks really clean man. Well done!

Thanks guys. I just hope it takes a big bite out of the cabin noise. I'll find out tomorrow. If it makes a big difference, I'll probably make something similar than hinges in the center so it can be taken in and out. This one will have to be destroyed to be removed.

Glued the carpet onto my sub floor sound barrier thing-a-ma-jig. I also glued some carpet where rear seat interior panels would be. I put some sheets in there first to absorb some noise. This is all temporary, to keep me comfortable on my trip. When I get back I'll remove it.

Installed the speaker cover Fastivaca was so kind to send me. Interior looks much more complete now.

Round headlights with boxy car.. something doesn't work i.mo

You've got something there. IMHO, it isn't the round, it's the size. I think the 7s are too big. 5s would look better IMHO. I don't know of any OEM single/individual 5 inch buckets though. Anybody know?

That said, round lights in boxy cars wasn't at all uncommon. In fact these rounds came of an 80s boxy VW. Go thru the list of small boxy cars of the era. Most had round headlamps. There were so many I can't list 'em here.

I didn't modify the car physically in any way. It can be returned to original anytime the whim hits. All brackets pickup OEM holes and anchor nuts. The grill is only made of wood.

Old guys (76 yrs.) have to play too. :-)

Thanks for the comments. That's why we throw out our stuff.

Painted my 89L

Sprayed the B1 graphite and put it together and have been driving it for about a week.

I replaced the coolant hose from the idle air control to the intake manifold. That has got to be the most difficult hose on the car. I've done it on another Festiva before and both times had much grumbling and sore hands.
Now my car won't mark its territory everywhere I park.

I also degreased the engine bay.
Showing up to a car meet with a dirty engine is like showing up without pants.
