kind of a big update, first work done on fester in forever

[DragonEddy]

OK, so finally got some time to work on the fester some, pics pretty much speak for themselves.....rusty lower core support where crossmember mounts, the new one im making, the motor, the GTX the motor came out of (lotsa parts for it, lemme know what you might need), the fester before i stripped it....blah blah blah

So you're chopping up a rust-free GTX to put the engine into a rotted Festiva?

[nonamekid]

I'm with Fred on this one. A little explanation would be nice since the GTX looks like a better vehicle.

In a previous post he said it was hit in the rear.

[DragonEddy]

it was crushed in the driver side rear corner of the car. it was all kinds of messed up. that was an initial option was to just keep the gtx and scrap the fester, but that body just didnt look like any fun to fix.

thanks for all the support

[nonamekid]

Was it on ebay? Was it the one with the rear driveshaft taken out?

By the way, I love the eyebrows on the festiva.

[B6T]

It would have been a better idea to put your body work efforts into the 323 rather then the Festiva. You could sell the GTX after it had been repaired and at least doubled your money, then put that money into getting a mint Festiva, a B6T engine, and all sorts of parts you need for the swap.

Anyway, good luck on the project!

Will you have it done for FF06?

[DragonEddy]

theres no way ill have it ready for FF06...i might thave the motor in and stuff, but between the full time job, the other projects im tryin to work for other people so i can make some extra scratch, and the fact that it needs new front rotors, wheel bearings, suspension and strut mounts all the way around, a windshield now and the body work, im not gonna be ready this year, im gonna do my damndest to be there in full effect next year.

Im not turnin this into a pity party, but theres just no way Ill have it ready this year. But thanks for all the feed-back everybody. I really appreciate it. A handful of my friends and my dad support it, but the import scene in toledo is pretty bull-headed, so my main goal in life right now is to dust most of the toledo scene with my "shit-box." Call me vengeful, but it gets me outta bed in the morning. Talk to you cats later!

I like your headlight "eyebrows". Did you make them?

[DragonEddy]

Theyre actually painted....when we did the body work the first time, we just taped it out, used some bulldog adhesion promoter and laid the same blue, so its nothin fancy, i just liked the pissed off look.....

[DragonEddy]

.....guess who got their SpecClutch today :twisted:
