Thanks for all the responses so far. I personally want to thank rbebber and Michael Norman. Looks like the blown line is to the rear passenger side. I've ...
D.T. I was wondering if the front seat belts of the Festiva with the blown engine are in good condition. I would need to change the two front seat belts of my...
Yep, when I finish redoing the interior, I may pick up a can of that stuff. I wonder if it's packed with carcinogens like the real new car smell... Seriously,...

If it were me, I'd go ahead and replace the muffler. A noisy car is a real turnoff to a prospective buyer. You can get a good muffler like the Walker...
I saw one today: orange with black stripes, made up to look like a little race car. Just absolutely showroom! One of these days soon, I'm going to make an...

That makes some sort of sense. I've noticed that on the Antiques Roadshow that the appraisers invariably ding people thousands of dollars who show up with 18th...
A car is only original once, don't you think? If you throw enough money at anything, you can restore a car after all. Michael "That would be telling."...
Hmm... I'm not sure if you could restore a car after a few Montreal winters. See my project website (http://fest-ev-a.slandi.net) for pics of what Canadian...

Nice!! Thnx for the URL. Hmm. I should shoot them an email. Cost of Pride + shipping, customs, etc. might still be cheaper than most new compacts. More pics:...
