            wow that car has come a long way... I remember worrying about it when I first saw the original pics cause some of it was in such bad shape, but you've done a great job so far. Can't wait to see the finished product, keep up the great work!
            No festiva for me ATM...

                too bad you do not live closer because my 93 is red and you could have painted it with extra paint that you might have of course i would have paid you.

                      I don't think anyone has put as much work as you have into saving a festiva. I remember when you first got it. You were braver then me. When you are done you will know what you got. Plus you will be an expert on all facets of the festiva. Keep up the good work !

                        *exhale* just got back here. More than 500kms round trip

                        was way worth it. they had 16 fests- including a 92'GL sport and a 90'LX

                        My car was loaded on the way back, i scored some sweet goodies incudeing LX seats with hollow headrests, split rear seat, rear wiper/washer, map pockets, folding style pwr mirrors, c-pillar moulding and more

                        will post pictures of my haul and the massive yard soon.

                            Just a daily driver that looks good, aka not covered in rust like all the other fests around here.

                            No... Despite being an LX it was missing several options... There was no center console, no cargo light/latch switch, and no intermittent wipers. And i just realized! I forgot to look for the tilt column! DOH!
