I just got my first festiva... needs a head gasket and water pump, but for $100 and ~120K miles, i am excited to get this baby going. Its red, 3 spd auto, '91. I am got the top end gasket kit and i'll do the timing belt as well. Should I do the thermostat as well? Has anyone had problems with the thermostat? Thanks! ejp2fast
