Just looked at all the pics...yeah, that would have been a shame had that been taken off the road. Nice Festiva! I'm partial to the Aqua though!

It looks great! Excellent job!Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.Comment

There was a pretty nice Aqua for sale by me, but it needed a head gasket replacement and was 100 miles away from me. Didn't wanna hassle with it. It also sold in less than 2 days!

Spent around $2900 for parts (including a new engine), tires and maintenance on it since then.

Leverage... See the holes on each side where the bumper attaches.. I placed a Y shaped fulcrum on the ground in front of the hole,
inserted the largest round pipe that would fit in the hole until the end was at the crease, applied a very heavy weight to the other end of the pipe,
then did a combination of applying more leverage to the pipe and hitting it on the side with a sledge hammer until it was straight.
(Most of the bending from the collision was up.)Comment

Thanks to fastivaca for sending me replacement grille clips all the way from Calgary. Looks better without all the zip ties when I open the hood.Comment
