    The begining. A clean $600 Festiva.



    A BP from a Tracer LTS:


    Then I installed the BP and enjoyed the car for a month os so


    The plan was to do the BP swap then to do a full restoration. Here's a few shots of the disassembly and body work:





    Then prime and paint. The color is Jazz Blue from a VW







    Then reassembled along with an Aspire swap, KYB GR2 struts and FMS springs









    The interior was converted to the manual seatbelts



    Almost done


    Completed:





















    And the final touch



    I did the BP swap in late November '04. Took about a week to do. Then after xmas I started the rebuild of the car. It took 3 months to complete. I worked every evening about 4-5 hours and every weekend. It was back on the road in late March '05.

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        No skin off anyone else's nose, but imho this is probably one of the best I've seen yet. The color is great and the finish is phenomenal. Great Job!

                              Boy, this seems tempting for FOTY to me. Difficult choices! Maybe I will just vote for me!
