  • Visited Econoaddict today

    I stopped by Dean's (Econoaddict) shop today and I took a couple pics of his super clean $350 88 Festiva today.




    Sorry no pics of the shop.

    Awsome. You know Dean. I'd never heard mention of him here. Did he just get into Festy's? That looks like a very nice deal for $350.
    I signed up for his Econo web site and I'm still waiting for email to be approved. Is he still working with that site? Not much action on there. If you go back get pics of the Econos!

          David88, I did just recently pick up the festy. I have always wanted one but never found a decent one.
          No econo's at the shop for pics.......yet.

          shoot me a pm with the email addy you used at the econo forum and I will get you approved asap.

          Long story on the econo site but I am planning on getting it back up and rockin' just haven't had much time with the new shop and all.

          So when are all the oregon tiva's gonna show up at the shop for a little get together??

                Thats right and some people just dont have a clue. Those are my favorite people they just think it a crappy little car. But to us its a gold mine. The lady took real good care of it too. I should have gotten pics of the inside. By the way Dean how many miles does it have?

                  It shows 189k.
                  According to all the reciepts she passed along with it all the wheel bearings, struts, brakes, both axles, the timing belt and waterpump have been replaced.
                  As well as all the tune-up and maint. items along the way.

                  I think it is due for a coat of wax though. :p

                      Econoaddict Dean

                      Hello Dean from North Carolina.

                      Been into early Econolines for many years. The Festiva reminds me of the early days swapping out the small six engines and placing V8s back in there place. I have found that the Festiva folks here are great people. I am so happy that I have a Ford Festiva. I have been to Econoline meets many states decades ago. Made videos, meet shirts. swap parts. Had fellow members drive down from up North for rust free parts. The folks tha are into the Festivas are just like the Econoline folks. All age groups. It is great to be a part of this Festiva group.
                      The wife and I are attending this meet. Come convoy with us.Come to the 1st annual "Sunshine Meet" March 20th 2010. Details in the thread below.
