What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[htchbck]

Yesterday delivered yet another of my fleet to its new owner... came home in Keith's white car by way of AreaFesty1 to pick up a wiring harness and hang out with DriverOne and an exhausted BeBandit for a bit. Down to one festy now, but at least Green Car got driven today for the first time in a couple of weeks. I look at it this way, now that I only have one, I don't even have to choose one over another to drive to work in the morning lol. Today I'll be doing some light duty work on Keith's car before getting back to work on the nitty-gritty of finishing the wiring and installing the BP/G in his other one.

Excellent work, Junspeed. I never would have guessed that could be fixed so well!

[Christ]

Got an inspection ticket. Not bad, made it with 12 cars and 4 bikes over a year without getting one. Time to get things inspected, I guess.

Some good boys did this last year in less than 20 minutes...


With a hammer and pliers I manage to fix it like this...


It's been like this for more than a year until...


I fixed it with body filler. Installed a fresh pair of outer handles and locks as well.

It's alive. IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, just barely, the tweaking will begin, but she starts, and she runs! That is my first Festy swap...planning my BPT already!

drove it for the first time in 3 months woo hoo!

[fastivaca]

Replaced the hood with the one from the parts car. It has a hardly any rust and polished up quite nicely.

Replaced the front brake pads. Squealing is gone

[91blufestiva]

Got my rear FMS springs installed! Can't wait to get the front done!

Geez! And I thought I did a lot. I replaced the passenger side lower control arm, and put in a new Duralast CV axle...

I did a couple things. Today, or as most of you would say, last night, say, 2:30 AM, Baby Car looked a little something like this...



The engine looked like this...



And as of 9:30 AM she looks like this.




Not much more than a couple gallons of Purple Power (Thanks Arty), a big brush, a little brush, and 3 beers couldn't do any old time.

Feeling lazy though. Might put a new engine and transmission in the old girl if I can find a shot of scotch or two....

[Team Lightning]

Filled it up on the way home from work. I got 42mpg on this tank. 41 + on the last one.

I sold a festiva today, along with tons of festiva and aspire parts. glad to have the room and one less project going and glad to see someone happy to continue finishing a car. Can't wait to see it finished

Do those speakers sound better than the stock ones?
Do the speaker grilles fit with the new speakers installed?

I never had stock speakers in my Festy so I'm not sure, but they do sound good for little 4 inchers. They were the best ones the store I bought them from head to offer. Cost me like 73 bucks for the pair and that was at dealer cost.

And yes, after installing them from the inside of the whole I was able to get the grills on no problem.

Here check out my garage thread where I usually put up more detailed pics.
