    My first festy

    I kinda have a car fetish..been lurking here for a few years and I finally have a festiva to play with. Just sold my daily so she will take over for a bit until I find the right s4. The car is completely rust free and no major accidents. The previous owner used to haul hay around in it so gutting and cleaning is first on the list.

      Awesome! Why is it Festivas tend to come from unusual backgrounds? I think its a cool factor, just wondering. I mean you just don't hear someone say I just picked a Pontiac Fiero. It was being used to haul sugar cane to the field truck.

        Congrats that's a great find, looks like it will clean up well.
        An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

              Nice lookin' Festy !
              I like the graphic, clean & understated.
              Not garish like alot were.
              If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                I kinda wish it was a full saved by the bell garish graphic. There was a white latemodel in Bakersfield that had the full oe treatment and the car was flawless.. I offered him a good amount for it a few times and he wouldn't come off of it.. At least I got the swoopys and a little 90s goodness.

                      My '88 never once boiled over in L.A. or out in the desert at Needles.. Will you be using some seats?

                        Seats are for panzies.

                        Seriously though, nice looking car.
                        Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

                          Wild color. You should change the bumper skins like I did to get a little contrast.

                          Now that you have the seats and carpet out, it's sound deadening time!
                          It is possible to make our rattle cans as quiet a ride as a Lexus.

                            I don't mind a little rattle..I'm not going to make it something it isn't although a dumb motorswap is in the future.
