Some cool pics

Those wheels looks awesome
Did the aspire intake fit? if so I may use the one of my parts car
Also could you PM me more info on the installation of the defrost glass and wiring?

Thanks, yes the aspire intake fits, after you cut it right before the 2nd flexy part of it after the 90 degree bend in it, and you have to use a hose clamp to connect it to the lower part of the festiva intake, because the festiva's is oval and the aspire's is round. Wes installed the back glass for me, and I haven't wired it up yet.

great work so far, the back strut cover did you spray it or buy a new one

Thanks, are you talking about the grey plastic pieces on the inside? I didn't do anything to those, just put better used ones in the car.

Yeah I figured that! Right now all I have access to is a dremel with cutting wheels and a hacksaw

Hey Fred, what did you use to cut your springs? It's about time I tried my hand at that!
