  • Nice day, so i cleaned my festy up (1991 L)

    There is nothing really special about it, it's just my daily driver i bought for $150. And have around $600 in it now, but thats a fresh engine and other stuff that got replaced. It has rust in the 1/4's and some damage to the front right side and rear. But it gets me to where i need to go. I may fix the rust and damage over the summer. I got the other steel wheel for it, just need to put a tire on it. I would like to get a set of trim rings and center caps for the steel wheels.

    I changed the dash cluster over to orange since someone already changed the HVAC controls over to orange. I like the orange better anyway. The fart can is going to stay. All it is, is a over sized glasspack. Plus it isn't that loud anyway. Got any questions, just ask away....

      Every festiva is special, right? (By the way, Senor, if you are reading this...you're right the black wheels are nice against the red!)

            I like the black wheels too, but i think it would look better with trim rings and centercaps.

            they allways crack me up when i look at them.




            And what do you guys think about the all red tail lights? Although for some reason in the pictures, the part i painted looks darker. Although with the naked eye they don't

                      I really like your car. I did the orange tach cluster and orange hvac swap also, looks good. I LOVE the 0.5 emblem! Hilarious! The taillights look good.

                        I used Dupli Color metal cast red. You can also use Testors candy apple red and then clear coat it with a automotive grade clear coat.

                            I liked the orange set up too and changed my entire dash over on my 93GL including orange digital clock and orange lettering on the bezel. The biggest problem was the combination switch for the headlight and turn signals. Still trying to find a orange variable speed intermittent wiper.

                              It was on the car when i bought it. It has OBX R racing sport on the side of it. So i'm not to for sure, i think it just maybe a e-bay piece.
