  • Old Red update thread #6- Red is BACK!!!

    Been a while since I've posted a update thread on Old Red. Red is my car now and Snowball is my parents, I couldn't walk away from all the work thats gone into that car, so I decided to finish it as I had planned before

    Anyway, on to the pics

    Painted the wiper arms


    Painted the rear bumper cover


    Put the door panels w/map pockets back onto Red

    Installed my LX console





    Red's old bumper is now on Snowball, they're going to be solid black on Red (no red stripes)

    New bumper on Red


    Wiper arm installed

    Cargo light








    Had a great day today, It was good working on Red again. It was just me home alone most the day wrenching on the Festivas, the weather was great too it was in the 60's I should be able to do more work on Red tomorrow

          Looking good but I think you should consider renaming "snowball" .

            Thanks, I may change Snowball's name since its just a plain "L" and Red is getting all the good stuff...

                        I think thats a good idea, put some new control arms/ball joints and tie rod ends on it, get it aligned with some new tires and call it tighty whitey. Or Whitey or T.W. for short. :p

                            Why not go with the non-pc obvious and call it "Honky". Of course you should go to Harbor Freight and add an Aoogah horn first.I saw where they are on sale for $10.
