what would you do?

Just checked the PnP in STL. They are showing 3 Festivas...one is probably a skeleton...been there since early March. But the other two were just added this week. Probably plenty of goodies left on them.

3 Festys!
The Festy there from March I believe is the red one? I hit it and got the headlights, turn signals, and a few other things. I'll have to head there and see what else I can scavenge. Would like a hatch with wiper. The red one had a good size dent in the hatch, and some rust.....
......it was a wiper hatch. :sad:

Went there a month ago. They had a Protege listed as a 323, and a Festy listed as an Aspire.

Ha Ha! Yes they did! They also had a listing for an Isuzu PU and there wasnt one there.

With $2000 to work with you could buy someones DONE Festiva and still have some money left to work on your other one!!! Just sayin'

If buying a third car was on the list. It would be a fiero thats on Craigslist near st. Louis. Always wanted one of them.

Ok I think I found a set of rims I like. Now I need knowledge. I know some people are running 15x6 on stock festivas. Spacers in back and none in front? Thay are 38 off set and are 4x114.3 and 4x100.

I wouldn't go 15x6 with stock brakes because of the weight. These wheels will increase stopping distances noticably.

I do still plan on doing the aspire swap and I have a good set of stock on the festy.

jhli? Did you pick up those nice looking gold rims? I had been watching those!

So my lovely wife had a good idea today. We need work done to our cars. She is going to spend $2000 on her suburban and I have $2000 to spend on the festiva. So hear I am with all sorts of things flying in my head. I want the car to handle better and it needs brakes. So aspire swap is something I need to do. Also if it rains I cant drive the car. Not because I don't want to but because it won't start. That's the only two thing's I have. So I think im about a grand in. I got nothing else I can think of for that much. Also it's my drive so I have to keep it on the road.

edit: or buy 3 more project festiva's

An 80's - 90's Pontiac Fiero? I think they are more scares than Festys & Justys!

My sister was an engineer at GM. She owned a Fiero, for a short time, back when they were new. She said they drove like crap on wet roads and there was always a list of problems with them on the road and on the assembly line. I guess it would make for a good project car if you can find one.

No I did not. Wish I did. Are we still going to junkyard on Saturday?

Does anyone have a aspire swap close to me that they want to sell? Also just found out I have more money. Score!!

I have one, no dents but it does have a little surface rust on the inside of the fender at the bottom, no loss of metal though.
Not close so I would have to ship..unless you can wait until the middle of August or if you're coming to madness in October.

I had started to sand it down to paint for my auqa, but I found an aqua one for mine in the meantime.

PM me if you are interested.

Ok. Im at $500 spent. I have to do the brakes and get tires. If I have enough money after that I will be getting racelands and head cam and exhaust.
