[mikeycar500]

me and matt {fetman} worked on festiva yesterday managed to have the motor out in under two hours while just screwing around. the car is so light, with the car on jack stands behind the front wheels on the pinch welds, with the motor in it when we stood on the front bumper the rear wheels picked up. Haha, and when the motor was out and such, instead of jacking it up to take the stands out - one person lifted while the other removed them haha. next thing is for the mazda to get striped out. deff will take us more then 2 hours we have so muce more to take off of it.
heres more pics and sorry but they r cell phone pic



ok mabye the next step is cleaning and painting under the hood

[Fetman]
