    new member here

    I'm a new member Ford fester found me in the junkyard more like he made it his mission to find me when he saw my 91 Ford festiva train wreck in the parking lot.
    We got to talking and he advised me to this sight.
    I told him how I traded a chrush car for a 92 white festiva turns out he was also Tring to buy that same car. So now here I am I have started my long adventure of restoring this little car so far I have pulled the engine and trans for a b6 swap striped the engine bay started cleaning it. The car will be gloss black with possible red pinstripes may try some Mazda suspension and breaks not to sure yet gonna do some looking in to that I know aspire will bolt right up so maybe ill go that way this will be a daily driver but I want it to be nice too. As for wheels do any of you know if cougar wheels will bolt up?
    I hope to have this car ready for the MN meet i will post pics let me know what u guys think thanks.

                              Welcome Yard Dog, it really doesn't matter if your ride is real cool or needing some help, it's a chance to meet the guys on the forum and eat, heavy on the eat and BS time.
                              An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.
