  • Update #1 on my New Festiva

    I worked on my new Festiva all day today, I pulled the fender off and beat the dent out with a mallet(not perfect but way better than before). Then I started stripping parts off Old Red, I switched bumper covers and air filters, stole a corner light and mirror off Old Red. Also took the trim rings/center caps off and switched them onto my new one.

    Still can't think of a new for the new one......any suggestions?

    Drove it into the garage to start working on it



    Fender pulled



    Power mirror I stole off OR


    Dent mostly out

    Old Air Filter....yuck!

    Replacement stole off OR

    Getting ready to swap bumper covers












    All done for today, looking better already!






    Thats all for now...

              OR is looking a little forlorn now. Better find a P&P quick so he doesn't feel left out. New Festy is looking good. Keep up the good work.
