**** If You're Here To Hate You're In The Wrong Place ****
Have you ever had a Ford Festiva pancake on you? The "Eye of Ra" is the first Ford Festiva in the world to have a fully custom made air ride suspension. Back in 2001 Aim Industries designed me my suspension system which includes an air rod/bag suspension. Front is bagged and the rear has air rods. I have 300 psi competition fast air valves, 4 switches, a Viair 400 and Blowjax 3/4 HP compressor. I can do F, B, SS, See Saw, all 4 corners, doggy, and pancake up/down. The Festiva has a salvaged title due to theft and a major accident back about 5 years ago. I have painted the car 7 times in 5 years. "Eye of Ra" has 7 trophies and is an every day driven show car. I have about 230k miles on the car. I roll the car currently on 80 spoke Luxors <-- I gotta cause I'm the "Eye of Ra."
I had the car muralled Egyptian. I used to have a Pharoah on the hood, the gods Osiris, Isis, Horus, Anubis, Seth, and Nephtis muraled through out the vehicle. I had camels muralled on the rocker panels. I also had engraved windows I did myself and on the back I had 2 Anubis jackals with the title "Eye of Ra" on the back surrounded by 2 Egyptian Eyes opposing one another. It was a trip !! I am new to the web, but have been driving this Festy for about 12 years.
-------> Currently as of 022406 I have a mural of Anubis over Karnak on the hood, sides have Bastet with a cheetah on one side and on the other side Anubis at night. The rear has the name of the car with two opposing Eye's of Horus Ra. Candy champagne Gold paint with flake, and graphics throughout the car.
**Future Plans**
The motor has been done up. She a 1.3 bored out, I have a 12 point port polish, knifed crank, light weight flywheel, Mallory Ignition system, turbo and other inter goodies to make this car fly.
