    New Festy

    Got my festy a couple of months ago, shes a diamond in the rough. Recently gutted it, moldy carpet and all. Loving working on it ( because everything is fairly cheep). So anyone got some pointers or suggestions. As my nickname suggest I go by Pickle (long story) so the color scheme is black and green. So any suggestions will be appreciated! Pics soon to fallow

      Welcome!

      Take the carpet to a do it yourself car wash and power wash the heck out of that moldy carpet. It will make it look good as new!

        Welcome, what are the plans for "the pickle"?

        1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

        If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

              If you're 'Pickle'

              PCKL JAR
              ...or...
              PIKL JAR

              Would make for a great liscence plate on a festy.
              From under the car, it comes out:

                  I was thinking about down the road doing a B6 engine swap and my buddy has a full garage for us to work in. Right now its a stock B3 with a 5 speed and is having idling problems, but that's probably due to old fuel. And the license plate is probably going to be just "PICKLE"

                              Put on the rims, but it started getting dark. Sorry for the picture quality, it was taken by my cellphone and the flash kinda sucks.
