So I came up with an idea because of the frequent hardware store runs I've been making as of late: why not have a compendium of all of the things you can do to your Festiva (whether repair or modification) at the local hardware store? I made a similar $50 DIY thread last year, but this time there is no budget restriction - only location, location, location. I've got a whole bunch to start us off, and so feel free to contribute and include similar information below. Then I'll get a mod/admin to edit them into the table below here. Please include a link to pictures and a budget estimate if at all possible!
