14" rims will look GOOD i love mine...

[Festiva_Fred]

New front struts w/cut springs installed







How it sits with no extra wieght in the car.




How it sits with me in the car.. which is only 140lbs :lol:




Should look real nice after the aspire swap is on, and I get some 14" wheels on it

Replaced the drivers side fender

As you can see this fender has seen better days.. everytime I opened and closed the door it would scrape against the door..



Heres the replacement for now, later on I'll get one that matches the rest of the car or paint this one to match.





And installed, no more of the fender scraping against the door

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

Awesome! can't wait to see how your's turns out, good luck.
