    BACK IN THE GAME...?

    Might be back in the festiva game after tonight! Going to look at a charcoal gray '88 4 spd tonight. It's a almost rust free car, only option I saw on it was a sunroof. Needs work here and there but overall a solid start, much better than most I see around here! Hopefully I'll be able to snag it and finally be back in the game! I'll keep you guys posted.

                  Got it for 800, tried talking down more but thats lowest he would go... figured what the heck, I've been looking all over here for a while.. this ones the most rust free one I've seen here ever! Only a few small spots, plus the car has new wheel bearings all around, new front brakes, new alt, newer exhaust so I don't think I did too bad on it. It runs great!

                        That's a fair price, I guess the former owner knew he had a gem. You might check the PCV valve when you spray the carb.
