What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[ENEMY_]

Ttttttteeeerrrrrrrddddbbbbbbbooooo!

Got a free desk today. Put it in the garage for a work station! It goes well with the rest of my living room in the garage :p

Looks like a game of ispy!

The wheel is om the trailer, but its a12"... (how fitting...), and the shadow + angle hides it, while making the festiva look almost as big as the S10.

Enjoy it, Charlie! Went to the pull a part today and couldn't find another switch that would work. So few mazdas, no escorts and only the tracer we already ripped in to. Guess I'll have to check at pick a part later. I did pull the spark plugs on that b6 that Dennis was looking at pulling the trans from. Not terrible, but certainly not maintained. Lordy the swap wheels are turning over here . No $$ though, so I guess I need to sell some spare parts.

Just got word from my brother. He's on I-70 finally. I'm all antsy with my festy out and me not in it. I'll bet he expects me to run him home, too. Gah!

.... Is the wheel missing off the trailer or does it just look that way? :?:
.

Brought home the yellow festiva I bought from gforcefd on here.

After about an hour of getting it secured on the trailer behind my fathers 4 cylinder s10, we loaded up the bike I also bought and took off.

Got it home, popped Steve's battery in there, cycled the fuel pump once, and fired it right up, old gas, no exhaust, and 2 lugs on each wheel, hand tight, I took it for a ride! Drives and shifts great!

I conditionally gave it to my Father. It remains mine, but he drives it, and is responsible for repairs. I'll buy the big stuff, like the windshield, and the 5 speed swap.

BTW, will a trans from an 86 Escort bolt to the stock Festiva engine?

This pic makes the festy look viewer than the s10 lol... Its the angle.

Pic is huge, but its on pb... And I can't resize it on mobile.

Yep, it is. It needs work, floor and the left spring is tweaked a little.

Yellow Festiva! Yay!! Looks nice, too.

No, I doubt an '86 Escort transaxle will bolt up.

Nice trailer, just fits the car, eh? Is that a converted camper chassis?

This one could if we keep talking about it!!

Anyhows, I really didn't do anything "to" my Festivas today, but I did buy these:



Here's how they would (sorta) look on Twin:



Of course they're just pressed up against the stock 12s.

They're 14 X 5.5" 1986 to 1988 RX7 alloys. They are 4 X 114.3 and will fit stock Festivas. I paid $50 for them. Tires are old and way too big, so I'll be taking them off. I think I'll keep and refinish them. (Gotta weigh them first to see how heavy they are.)

Has there ever been a thread on FF.com reach a 1000 posts?

[Pu241]

And of course he's already late bringing it back.

Bet he brings it back empty of gas!
I know mine would if I let him use it.

I started a thread on my trailer build.

Yes, we saw, bet it gets many views. We have people talk about this all the time an never finish one! Keep up the pics too!
