Ford Festiva Interior Resurrection Pt. 1! (Kilmat Sound Deadener Install)

In this part of the multi part series, I (with the help of my girlfriend) clean the neglected interior of my 1993 Ford Festiva and install Kilmat sound deadener in the car!

[@v0idlike]

Looking forward to this series!

Thank you for your support!

I love the fact that someone is finally saving an old econobox!

[@evanmeneilley3228]

Watch your mouth buddy. These are sweet cars.

[@crewcabdart]

Can’t beat a good econobox!

[@crewcabdart]

I think it was an all around compliment haha! They definitely are sweet cars

[@jv6miata]

Man I want to build one of these so bad. My dad had a crusty, white, no ac no option festiva when I was growing up. It was so funny to see my 6'0 Air Force sergeant dad fold himself into one and daily it to work and back. AND to Dallas with no ac (about 700 miles)

[@crewcabdart]

Get on Marketplace and find one! They’re out there!

[@amandastrange0]

Definitely need to invest in some detail cleaning gear. Maybe a sponsor out there can hook you up 👀

[@crewcabdart]

That’d be nice for sure😌

I owned a 1990 blue (smurf blue?) and loved that car. It was like a go cart and delivered 47 miles to the gallon on the highway on a trip to Florida from Virginia. Sadly I had to let it go as I needed something newer and more dependable (the car that replaced this was a 1997 Escort that delivered 22 years and 180k miles before I traded it). Thanks for saving a Festiva. I know they are worth next to nothing and weren't really Fords, but they will put a smile on your face and can carry a surprising amount of cargo with the seat fold down!

[@crewcabdart]

It’s so awesome seeing so many great Festiva stories. Thank you for yours!

[@KrashGT]

I used that Killmat stuff on the floor of my CRX, its good stuff.

[@crewcabdart]

I’m very happy with it on all my projects so far. It’s definitely my go to sound deadener!

[@jt3000o]

Man KZbin didn't send me a notification for this

[@crewcabdart]

Blasphemy!

[@kennygobert9393]

Scooby for the daily driver Doo for the junkyard car

[@KylerMillerton]

I named my festiva Fletcher

[@jimmyjimjims7483]

Ooh finally, I wait for the updates on the Festivas. I love these little creatures, such fun little cars I'm happy to see the interiors being redone. Idk if you use an android or iPhone to film but make sure if you are using an Apple that the phone is recording video in MP4 video format and not HEIC format, HEIC is horrifically bloated and will slow down data transfer times and take up more GB space. I use a program called Movavi to edit the vids on my channel, it works well for what it is but it will crash if too many HEIC files are strung together

[@crewcabdart]

Interesting! I use an IPhone and looking at my camera settings I see two format options. “High efficiency” and “most compatible”. I record in “High Efficiency” which says it is that HEIC format. The other one doesn’t list it as MP4, but as JPEG

[@jimmyjimjims7483]

@@crewcabdart Yes use the "most compatible" JPEG setting, you'll notice almost no difference in quality but you will absolutely notice a difference in data speed assuming you have anything under an i7 processor, HEIC is a drain on memory and transfer times (especially if you're transferring the data to a PC and not a Mac). Took me a year to figure that out lol

[@herbiehusker1889]

If it smells like pee, just call it the Peestiva.

[@crewcabdart]

Luckily it no longer smells like pee. But that’s not toooooo bad of a name haha

[@user-hi9te5vp8v]

How many of these do you own agian and could you let us know what ones you work on like give them names so it ain’t confusing

[@crewcabdart]

I own 3 of em!

[@user-hi9te5vp8v]

name the daily driver festive and junkyard one junky

[@juandominguez5487]

I would name the daily driver whitey ford and the junkyard one tank

[@joshuathompson2131]

I sent you a message on IM about my 1.6 for you but never heard any response. I did a full killmat on my 323 and the door closing sounds like a real car instead of a tin can.

[@crewcabdart]

I’ll go check now!

[@rickroberts4848]

Let me know if you want to sell the driver side power seat trim if your going manual belt.

[@crewcabdart]

It’s for sale!

[@user-hi9te5vp8v]

[@jasongeorge5265]

How many SF of Kilmat did you end up using?

[@crewcabdart]

One box is 36sq foot. I probably had 1/3 of the other box left over. Approximately 50sq foot worth or so
