So far, I've only been using it to haul stuff around... lately, I hauled a set of fenders, loaded doors, the OEM 12" wheels, a full rear beam and some front knuckles, as well as some small bits from my house to Lancaster to another Festiva enthusiast, which turned out to be a nice meeting and a profitable sale.

I installed the coilovers from my MK2 Golf (they're actually designed for an MK3 VW chassis) on the rear, still waiting to get the correct top hats to install the fronts. The ride is stiff and bouncy over large bumps, but the car handles like a friggin' Go-Kart. I love it, and once I get some weight moved around, it'll be much nicer.
