  • Then and now...

    Found some photos of my car from 4 or 5 years ago and thought it would be fun to compare them to now.

    THEN
    NOW

    THEN
    NOW

    The car is starting to show its age and is need of some rust repairs and paint touch ups but I still think it looks pretty good

    How many changes can you spot?

      Looks good. Not sure why, but I like the early Festiva grills quite a bit better than the later ones. And now you've really got me thinking about clear corner lights. Hmmm.

        Looking at the photos again made me realize that it's been a while since I waxed and polished the car. Something to add to the "to do" list when I get back from holidays.

          Looks much better! Are these taken from the same location?

            Thanks Mick. Both sets of pictures are taken in front of my house. We've been in this house for the past 21 years!

              One difference I see is that now you have the rear window shut. Must have installed A/C?

                    I see several changes. Clear signals and corner lights. Euro taillights, Wiper repositioned, Wheels, lowered, Grill, driving lights, Emblem on hatch, and paint fade! Wha did you do with the white alloys?

                      Sold them a long time ago to a local Festiva nut!
