What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[ELUSIVE]

Haha yeah the previous owner was a state champ in drifting. The hand brake has been so abused I coyldnt even lock the rear wheels up and pretend to "drift"..
Id been searching for so long for a parts car and saw this one parked at a house for a few months. Finally built up the courage to knock and ask about it the other day. The owners girlfreind was so excited to finally get rid of that "bomb".. !!
The owner had reservations about parting with it. Oh the power of cash and a nagging girlfreind.

Spent a little over $100 on RockAuto for parts to rebuild Chuck's old motor (bad rings) to drop into Babystiva in the next couple weeks. Once she's on the road reliable I can tear Green Car apart for the "trans"plant whether or not we've found Mel another car yet! Can't wait, getting closer by the day. Got some new plugs for Festevil too, he's started having some misfiring and I realized today that I didn't have plugs when I put the motor back together a couple months ago so I threw in some old ones that came out of one my old motors. Hoping new plugs will cure him lol.

Got my cv shaft and new shock installed (Made a world of difference still needs some minor tweaking to get the car right) Ran into a new problem with my tail lights and lights for the HVAC wanting to stay on (I'll have to dig into that more, I'm thinking I'll just swap the whole collumn from the parts car), and had the bearing in the blower motor try to seize up so i have no heat, so i'm still in the Taurus till i get the motors swapped (I think i have a good one laying around). Had a lot to do today so i don't have any pics of anything.

Any time htchbck! I spent the day fabricating a custom hood for twizted. I am going with all steel, it really hasn't added much wait and I get to use my mig welder. This hood is being made from recycled Festiva pieces and parts from bent and mangled parts that were in the scrap pile.
