I had a Festiva and I would have to say adding another 1000 lbs would be very hard on the engine and trans. I just picked up a Harbor Freight 4x8 flatbed trailer and it's going to weigh about 300 lbs once I finish it, maybe you could pick up one of them and make it work or find a way to get rid of some metal off that trailer to make it lighter.
