The best festiva truck F-1.3

[neanderpaul]

I think this is the best festiva truck conversion because the bed has been lengthened. My buddy Jack (who built the festar) Has been working on this one for a while. It is FAR from finished. Even the doors are stock charcoal grey color. Aspire brake swap and escort ZX-2 alloys (he got those from me). After all the body work suits him he will paint it close to the stock royal blue color and give it 2 wide white stripes down the hood and roof.

Paul,

That is looking good. What did he get the interior out of?

[91blufestiva]

That thing is completely awesome!

[Nerd Racing]

What's the rear suspension setup? It doesn't look like he's retained the stock strut/shock towers.

Just factory 88 L seats recovered. He painted the door handles, door pulls, sun visors, window cranks, and seat plastic. The mirrors are RX-7 I think. The spare is in the stock location. There are other cubby holes in the bed as well. It will be tight when he is done. The builder is holding his ice tea in one of the pics. He's as humble and fun and nice as he is talented.

It's stock I'm pretty sure. The "wheel wells" actually are covering the stock shock/strut towers.

Lengthening the bed really does make a difference - the proportions are better that way. Looks like very good craftsmanship too.
Do you happen to know what the rear fender flares are from?

[neanderpaul]

I think it was an S-10.

That is awesome. Paul, is that the guy you were telling me about when I picked up that engine a couple of years ago? He does great work.

[neanderpaul]

I'm sure it is the same guy. He's awesome.

I saw this truck earlier this year and wow its even better now then when I seen it! It really does make a difference by adding a few inches to the lenth! Can't wait to see it completelt done.

[neanderpaul]

He wouldn't let me post pics until now. He would probably rather I waited until it was done, but he got tired of waiting and wanted to start driving it. So I got tired of waiting too! And decided to post the pics! :lol:

[skeeters_keeper]

Yep, i've seen this in person too, glad he got it on the road!! Did he end up using those injectors?

Can't Wait to see it completely finished... with his attention to detail its going to be the sweetest fesup ever
