festiva #14

[neanderpaul]

I scored festiva number 14 yesterday. It's an 89 L with 208,000 miles. I've been a vulture about it for a while. The owner bumped into curb. I'm putting it back together. It needs lower control arms, sway bar, front wheels, oil pan, and then an alignment I guess. It recently got new front wheel bearings, rotors, brakes, alternator, and distributor. I'm going to drive it until I get an efi car with a bad motor and or trans. I have one now, but it has no title. If I track down the title I'll put the swap in it. I figure I'll get an aspire donor car for the suspension/brake upgrade, and a turbo capri or GTX for the engine and trans. Any suggestions on my swap?

Finish the swap and give it to me! Hows that for a suggestion? J/K, How many complete running Festiva's do you have now?

swap

Purty funny Brian. 8^) I just have the 2. Neither is running yet. I'm the guy that got screwed by the city. They came and stickered my vehicles. I had to get rid of 4 parts cars. Lots of parts bikes. And tons of parts. It was 2 truck loads, 2 trailer loads, and a rollback. I got $200 for the recycling, but no telling how many thousands I lost. I sell on ebay for a living so every time somebody here or on ebay asks for a part I recycled I grumble to myself.

I know what you mean, I have a friend that happened to. He put plates on his parts cars and the city couldn't do anything then because they were plated!

plates

We have to do the plates, insurance and, city stickers.
doh!

I could have used some of those "scrap" parts. Government BS ! Good luck with # 14.
