[fordfestivaa]

it's a lot of french language for you:p

[Damkid]

^^yes it is, i understand a very limited amount of french :lol:

[Pocket_Rocket]

Good luck trying to understand that; it's not really french, it's kinda like "frenglish" loll! I asked Max what happened with his harness, also what was the symptoms of his bad distributor (because I have erratic idle on my car, and there's oil leaking INTO my distributor's base and timing electronics, so wondered if that was the culprit) also asked if he had good doors, because mine are in good shape but the window frames are all rotten up. Also asked about the handbrake cable for his aspire swap; I said that if he ever finds a source for brand new ones, to tell me, because back where I live, Ford have discontinued it, and it's not listed at the auto parts stores. By the way, Max also asks, is there a difference between the 3-door and 5-door rear axle for the swap? Because the guys at the j/y says there is...

[Damkid]

I heard there was a difference between 3 and 5 door aspires from a junk yard guy too but i've never known there to be any difference

[Festiva_Fred]

I know the front brakes off a auto aspire have thicker rotors.. don't know if the backs are any different.

[freshtiva]

Man, please dont delete those pics, Im gonna need those. Nice job !!

PS

Im surprized the intermeadiate axle bracket didnt bolt up using the original holes. Get some pics of how you modify the shifter linkage too if you would.

[Maxtiva]

I plan to take lot of pic for sure and if you want to look at more pic just go to my photobucket there is way more pic than what I show you

[freshtiva]

Cool, thanks Max !

[skimsucka]

hey max was wondering if the 323 cluster is plug and play or what wiring must be changed, it also looked likt it may have been the 323 dash trim you had as well?

Car looks excellent nice work by the way

[Damkid]

The intermediate shaft is from a B6T (capri/323GT) which is why it doesn't bolt to the BP

[fordfestivaa]

i take all the 323 wiring..! its not very tuff to fit on the dash!

I know, Ive got one. I just figured it bolted up using the original holes. Didnt know it needed to be modded.
