What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[RhodeStiva]

where's the pictures?

[TorqueEffect]

Painted the A-pillar interior panels black. Painting headliner black tomorrow.

Black tape actually works really well for this and doesn't chip like paint will on the brake lines. Whenever I put new lines on, I wrap them tightly with black tape unless I have enough shrink tubing for them. Then almost never have to replace another line XD

Good idea.. the residue alone would get the rust away.

Got the Aspire rear suspension in. I'm amazed how well it rides now. Probably should of cut the springs quite a rake to to it. Next is the front sway bar, radiator, and I might attempt swapping the automatic.

Welded up a resonated test pipe for Tweak in hopes that ill still have a little of my hearing left after my trip to madness.

The ceramic will stop better than metallic or asbestos pads. But, they will wear your rotors down quicker. I can only afford cheapo asbestos pads + no Gymkhanna.

Installing ceramic brake pads today, hopefully they'll stop better and decrease dust.

He looks at me, thinks for a second, and just says "Follow me!".

Dear God. I have no traction on gravel, rear springs are getting bad.. usual gravel top speed = 25-30MPH. The kid's going 55-60! Blind corners, hills, potholes! So much jumping! Sliding!

FUNNEST TIME I'VE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Probably lasted 5 or so miles.

I mean, I've squealed the tires a few times, but that was downright awesome.

Hahaha, thanks for the laugh

Wire brushed some rust around the rear bumper mounting points and hit it with some rustoulem. Still need to hit the rear brake lines before they rust through. Hopefully going to get the Aspire's rear suspension in tomorrow. Need to do some work on the tires not sure if I'll have time.

Didn't do anything to the Festiva today, but did do something with/for it.

Went out to look at the only local Aspire at a junk yard waaaayy out in the country. Got lost, saw a kid out on a dirtbike and asked him where the yard was.. He looks at me, thinks for a second, and just says "Follow me!".

But anyway, yeah. Aspire rear looked good, 127k miles.

Picking it up in a week.
