1989 Festiva L Build Thread

The better question is where did you get them? I need them and the expansion plugs(not sure what theyre called) that you put the screws in underneath.

Brian had some - not sure if he has any left

The contrast looks good on the spoiler, I like the shaved key on the fuel door idea cant wait to see more pics

Thanks

I'll be shaving my fuel door when I get to that side of the body work too. What are your plans for keeping it closed so it doesn't flop around while you're driving?

Not sure yet.. I'll figure something out..

how do you removed those spolier caps by the way?

I didn't they came with the spoiler, got it off ebay

Fuel door progress



Filled it in with body filler, then got it sanded below flush with the rest of the door.


Skim coat of filler



After sanding




Going to prime it, and possibly do another skim coat and re-sand it if it needs it..

[festivaWES]

LOL must of taken you an hour to sand that off...36 grit!

Nice progress though. I want to remove and shave one of my festivas eventually. Do the tail light pimptiva mod.!

I'm liking the fuel door, FFL. Thought about something like that a few times, just never had the time, and more importantly, the patience to mess with it. Looking Good!

it looks like you have one of those atm camera behind your Mazda emblem with the reflection... is that a whole diff steering wheel cause it looks alot cleaner/newer....

It does look good !! I need to touch mine up .

It looks like you brushed them .

The brush and the can works a lot better and last longer than the spray .
