well i've only been a member for six years figured id show my new festy and a little intro.
i just took my swapped festy for its maiden voyage with the new BP motor. its gonna be fun.
i come from a long line of car idiots and hotrod guys, i've been into all things mechanical since i was a young lad. I knew how to fix cars before i could even drive them.
Some of the cars i've owned are a 93 mr2 turbo, 76 datsun 280z, 76 ford bronco, 78 ford f250, 84 mazda rx7, 88 mazda rx7 with a chevy v8 and powerglide, 91 eagle summit with a 4g63 and AWD swap, and a subaru justy but cant remember the year. i've helped build several 20's and 30's fords with my dad, and helped build up tons of friends cars too. i dont know why i like this filthy hobby, but i do.
How i came to own this festiva is kinda interesting. Long story short, my wife and i decided to change our lives and start over. We were in alot of debt and barely making it, new house, new cars, wedding in hawaii, etc. So we gave up all our stuff (including my newly finished 350 hp 4g63 and AWD swapped eagle summit) and moved into a 1 bedroom apartment to save money. during these 3 years of scrimping and saving every time i would see a festiva or geo metro i would tell the wife, "one day im gonna make one of those fast."
Well being the awesome wife she is, her and my brother snuck away while i was at work one day and bought this 93 festiva from a guy 2 hours away and surprised me by having it parked out front of my work when i left for the day. I was thrilled.
anyways enough about my nonsense heres a few pics.
donor protege, unknown no-start problem.
heres why...
almost out.
other than the shredded timing belt, it looks awesome.
shot it with some OD green paint and fixed the timing belt and new water pump.
stock B3, this thing leaked soooo much oil but ran awesome. 180,000 miles exactly at time of pullout.
out she comes
my pal Jason helping re-wire some stuff.
first test fit
after several weeks of building motor mounts and such its coming together. if you look close you can see my remote mounted hydraulic clutch reservoir.
here she is, in all her crappy awesomeness.
and for fun heres a pic of my old eagle summit 4g63 swapped, and AWD swapped and 5 lug swapped, and sold...
thats enough..
