    The 230 mile trip home will let me know if she's a good runner, or if there is some work cut out.

        Congrats on the purchase, and welcome to the world of Festivas. I'm glad this car is going to someone who appreciates it, and it's always nice to see another Festiva guy in the Northwest.

            My guess is they're '88 or '89 smoothie lamps with some carefully applied paint or plastidip.

                Those aint stock I don't think. Look at the round sections. I've never seen those on a Festiva, at least a US one.

                  It's just taped and painted... I can almost guarantee you that, Jerry.

                    I know the first thing I want is a timing cover, I do not like it exposed like that, makes me nervous.

                        I am so jelly! I paid $1100 for my 92 GL Sport and had to replace the engine. I wanted to do a BP....but I wanted a gas mileage car...
                        so I have an Aspire engine in it now

                                Ridiculous, mind-boggling great deal! A normal, stock Festy in average condition would cost more than you paid for this car! My vote for Deal of the Century, or at least the Decade. Congrats.

                                09 Kia Rondo--a Festy on steroids!
