My "new" Ford

[nebrfestiva]

Well here is the latest addition to the herd of Fords in my driveway.
1988 Festiva, power brakes, rear defroster, 4 spd. 184,000 miles. The good- is that it runs, had the carb rebuilt 2 months ago, and a new fuel pump. The bad- needs new exhuast, front end alignment, dies when slowing down, hatchback doesn't open, oil leak and broken inside door handle on passenger side.
All for $500
