  • The Festiva I bought Yesterday.






    Got it for $400. Needs some work like brakes and stuff like that but I'm happy with it. It's gonna have a long road ahead for it. NO RUST, SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT!

        garaged festivas are the only ones I saw with no wiper arm rust! My 93 had no arm rust and had never even been waxed....the one in the pic.

              Yeah, it has some problems though. I think the main issue is the Master cylinder feels Fubared, so I'm gonna have to get that replaced so I can, ya know, stop.

              It seems like the car has the under seat tray but no rails? It doesn't make any sense.

              Yeah, it came with another Fender, the plastic that goes in the wheel well, side mirrors that don't fit (LOL), and other little parts. Here's the list of stuff that I noticed:

              Automatic
              2 of the 4 trim rings, those will be on sale soon.
              Power Steering
              it almost looked like it had a tilt column, but it doesn't? Like it looks as if there's upoose to be a lever under the column.
              AC (and I think it works, we don't have hot weather yet though)

              The motor and tranny will probably be for sale in a little while, along with the power steering as soon as I find a decent manual steering rack. I gotta find another job though: Circuit city is closing in 2 months.

              On a sidenote: I thought my mom was going to be furious when I brought the car home, she wasn't but she said "You really don't need 2 cars".

                ill get rid of that underseat tray for you.
                it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

                              I've got a complete manual steering rack I'd trade ya for power steering. Let me know when you pull it off and we can work something out
                              Of course the red makes it go faster..
