Maxtiva update

[Maxtiva]

I have just finish to SWAP the engine from a newer Protegé into my car cause I was in need of a BP for my 323 so I buy a new engine ad I ahve put the Festie BP into the 323 and the Protegé engine into the Festiva. But I had a problem I've plug (what I think is) a ground to the + on the solenoid (I was very tired at this time) and after that I have try to start the car and this happened

But I've buy an wiring harness from Chris (Damkid) and I'm going to put it into the festiva tomorrow.
Here is some more pic of the car:



The new BP with a MAZDA valve cover

And the new 180 KMH cluster that I've buy from Chris

This is the mess that I've done in my sister in-laws' garage

Ahh no good on the harness - glad both cars are comming along well (for the most part)

[Maxtiva]

How the car is sitting right now

[Damkid]

Nice progress so far!! getting the harness through that little hole that goes into the passenger compartment is a real PITA, but i'm sure you'll get it through :thumbright:

[eurotiva]

What are you doing to my favorite festiva? Oh yeah I'll give you my shipping address so you can send that bumper down here. LOL

I forgot to say that the new harness is allready in the car I just need to put back some connectors and the car is almost good to go. But I may need a new distributor cause I think mine is bad. Do you still have the one in your green stiva Chris?
