What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[neanderpaul]

Swapped out the cable on the floor/defrost/vent selector on the hvac controls. It was broken. That's a relief. Especially with the seasons changing. I had it stuck on vent for a month or so which was fine for daily a.c. use. But It has been rainy and cool a couple of times lately.

Got my rear strut tower bar welded in. It definitely make the rear of the car more responsive and and allows for a little more induced oversteer. We cut out the seat brackets and welded in mounting points for the horizontal bar. It will be a 3 point when it's done but for now just a 2 pt. Still need to miter cut the lower tubes and fit them, then weld them to the top tube.

Also started thinking about my new airfilter setup for my weber 3236 carb. I'll be going from a cold air intake setup to a topmount style with a scoop. We've had a ton of rain this season and the threat of hydrolock is ever present. When it's finished it will even have a cable operated flap that I can close from the driver seat (like a real rally car).

Finally cut out the quarter panel on the parts car. Lined it up on the Bullet and marked where I need to cut the bad section out.

very nice M3NTAL! Your festy is so clean, I love it!

I just got my B6 on the engine stand but now I'm about to go pick up my wife. So I turned the engine over for a second...tempted to pull the oil pan...and then coolant drained out of the spark plug holes on cyl 1 & 2 (or 3 and 4...it was 2 in sequence).

I'm not surprised though...I mean, the head gasket is full of RTV lol poor suckers

Thanks charlie i do like those rims, ya know if i put the names of all the people who have helped me or sold me parts for this car it would be covered. oh ya and the great advice that i have been given helps me keep these cars on the road.

The car looks great!! And I think I've been there!
It's not your Cream Puff but i'm happy with it. i'm sure you have been by the lake before, here is some good news, the Army Corp is going to start working on the Dam and retro fit it for Hydro Electric Power. Next year Maybe i should think about having a Festiva Meet down by the Lake, plenty of good spots for our cars and plenty to do for the men and women folk.

It does look good, Carl has it all decked out, inside and out.
Thanks Fresh for the kind words, your cars and others on this site give me the urge to continue to work on and improve the cars i have. Shoot we could have had a mini meet.

You passed me!
