    Cutting the battery plate out, along with some rust.



    Welding the strut seams and putting in some new metal.







    All primed up.



    Me getting funky with some atomic green.





    In goes the steering rack from an ‘83 and a Auto to Manual pedal box swap.





    So there you have it. A cage is going in soon, the block has been dipped and cleaned, got some hot cams and other nice bits, I am just waiting on fresh rings to turn up and the engine rebuild will begin.

    So stay tuned.

    There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

    The Festiva is envious of your glossy atomic green.

    I've seen this in the flesh

    Not quite the paint I expected when you bought the (super clean) shell off me!
