    Skeeter is finally getting some love!

    For those of you who think I've fallen off of the face of the earth, I'm still lurking around And now that the weather is warming up and things have settled down... I have a little time for a project that has been put off far too long.

    Its time for Skeeter to live again!

        That is some special treatment for a special car. I'll bet that operation hasn't been performed on a Festiva since Festivas were only a year or two old. Beyond that they would have been totaled. My wifes 90LX needs the same thing on the same side. I just need to score a nice straight full quarter like you did. Nice work. Looks very professional.

          Accident... three years ago!





          This wonderful gentleman decided to change lanes without looking:



          Don't ask me how I feel about that. >


          The stand is pretty cool, I can fit two cars in the garage and close the door since I can turn Skeeter sideways. I built it for about $30 in two hours or so... i wish the casters were a little bigger to make rolling it around easier, but they were free.

                      Glad to hear Skeeter is getting new life again! I about choked a few months back when I saw all the chopped up pieces of a blue festiva on your facebook, then I realized it wasn't Skeeter!
                      No festiva for me ATM...

                        Nope, definitely didn't chop up Skeeter! The front clip from that one may be going on Skeeter though... we'll see if I'm up for that much additional work
