1993 Festiva L progression thread

[Festiva_Fred]

Im in the process of ordering all my parts for my 93GL and then im going to do everything at once too. Already ordered ball joints, sway bar bushings, control arms and then going to order shocks and struts and then brakes. Already put on new tires. Im in no hurry, just taking my time. Good job on yours. I love working on these cars. Mine is same color and the clear is peeling off also.

Cool, this car will be getting new shocks and struts, LCA's, and an aspire brake swap. Thanks I like this color alot, and these cars are fun to work on! There is a GL in town thats this color too and it's clearcoat is also pealing like mine..

I'm starting to really think your parents are messing with you just to get Festivas reconditioned. :p

BTW, Love the color.

Actually it's #4 :lol:

I've had a
-1990 Red Festiva L 5-spd (Now belongs to festivaWES)
-1990 White L + Auto
-1989 White L Auto
-1993 Green L 5-spd

This is the end of swapping cars around for a while.. after everythings done we'll be cut back to 2 running festivas: My parent's 89 L and My 93' L. I love the color too.

Moving right along. Looking good. Definitely liking the grill. Planning on doing something similar with my grill, just with a different emblem.

Thanks, I think this grill is a big improvement over the stock one.

You switch cars so often it makes me dizzy! But keep up the good work!

^^ The important thing is to always look busy.

Ford-for-Life, what did you use for the mesh behind the emblem? Gutter guard? Think that's what a couple of others on here have used.

It's some plastic grill mesh I got off ebay a while back for $10.

Cool. I know a couple of others on here have just gone to Lowes, or Home Depot and used the gutter mesh. Probably what I'm going to do when I get to that point.

Good call with the green Fred! After giving it much thought I'll be painting my project festy green as well. Doing the $50 paint job and got "Festival Green Gloss" rustoleum....I thought that would be a fitting color for a Festiva
