    So i was contimplating getting another one or not since my tranny kinda went out on me... and well like you all say.. i got the festiva bug in my system...

    I went and picked up a 1988 Festiva LX for $400 from a friends.. will post up pics when i get some batteries for the camera

    the good
    -LX model
    -Split fold down back seat
    -smooth tail lights
    -Rear Spoiler
    -Hatch Cover
    -5 speed manual
    -141XXX miles
    -new clutch
    -Orange gauges with a tach
    -msd ignition
    -power driver and passenger mirriors
    -only one dent on the body of the car

    the bad

        It might be easier to find a BP or you could always go BPT (180 hp)

          My 88 LX was missing the tray under the seat too....wonder where they all went? What years was it offered? I do not remember if my 93 GL had one or not. I know the 88 had power mirrors and split fold down rear seats and the 93 had neither....but the 93 had the nice alloys and the 88 did not, it had wheels that looked just like the L models.

            The underseat tray was in 88-90 LX cars.

                "The Mystery of the Underseat Trays."

                Festiva LX underseat trays have gone missing! From their friendly neighborhood junkyard, Nancy, George and Bess follow a rusty trail of intrigue to the secluded, mysterious Festiva Ranch! There, they climb amongst the hoards of classic little cars and discover the solution to this mystery!

                    Well i went out and snapped some pictures of her today.. need to figure out a name.. suggestions welcome. I also still have the stock tires from REDROCKET that i will be putting on the new one so don't worry about the flat on the passengers side. It also needs quite a bit of cleaning as you can tell....inside and out... outside is dirty cuz i had to pick her up from a farmer and he lives on a dirt road, and it just seemed to rain that day.

                    enjoy the pics

                        Is that a bullet hole in the hatch? Nice find! I like the split rear seat. Mmmm LX.

                            Nice score indeed! That dose look like a bullet hole in that hatch LOL! Any idea where it stopped? Would suck if it was a hi-power rifle and went straight thru the car and into the block
