What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Christ]

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.

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.)

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!

Yeah I told him if he wrecks it and survives the crash I'll kill him. And of course he's already late bringing it back.

I stared at the empty spot in the drive and hoped my brother hasn't wrecked it.

I'd never trust my brother with my Festiva!
A Festiva brother is a different matter!

You did an awesome job on that James! You've renewed my interest on this mod

We should meet up when I move up to Jersey. You've got a really clean car and I'd love to see it in person. Maybe we could even arrange a mini-meet for that area or something :thumbright:

There are very few people I will trust with my festivas.
