  • I am still on the prowl for custom parts, either homemade or aftermarket, and I believe I've found everything I need to make a hot set of tails. This is along the truck light concept, for those of you who have been following that. They've started producing replacement lenses for the snap-together twin lens assemblies for truck fenders in the standard size, which means if I can get going on the fiberglass stuff this summer as I mentioned earlier, I can make my own tail lights (with reverse lights ). They will probably be paint-to-match or black, but don't hold your breath just yet. I'm just updating my finds.

          • Put on a new fender. Needs a bit of a polish to be as shiny as the rest of my car.

            • In the past 2 days I've done the following to my 26th festiva. Its an 88LX . Straightened the frame with a chain, a tree, and reverse. Installed the sway bar, filled it with 9.1 gallons, installed passenger fender, put the oem straps back on the axle boots, changed the oil and filter, changed the transmission fluid, changed the rear wheel bearings, aligned it, put a wheel and tire that I already had, wiper blades, headlight bulb, marker light bulb, and then took it for state inspection.*

              Now to swap out the bumper for the towing bumper and see if I can get the ac functional. I'm towing my 93 auto down to Fourthstiva this weekend!

                  • I pulled Festdiva out of the garage today. Tags expire months end. Took it and got some exhaust work done. My old exhaust had about six holes in it, all where the hangers were welded to the pipe when I got some work done a couple of years ago. The holes were the only problem. Also put Redfords old wheels and tires on it for tomorrows vehicle inspection. I need to start using up some 13s Ive got. A couple of pics of Diva and Jerry. Jerry came out for awhile today also.

                        What type of car is parked next to fluffy?
                        Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

                            • Got a brand new tire mounted and balanced for $12, tire cost $55 shipped to my house. I ordered it from these guys, they have great prices: http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/rshop.p...hen=View+tires

                              I took the car up to 70 mph without any wobbles and fear, coulda done more but backed off in case of coppers.
