Got the engine dropped in and bolted up. swapped out the engine harness and got everything plugged back in. Got my steering column swapped out and my pedal assymbly swapped. Still need to swap out the fuel pump, hook shifter up, hook exhaust up, and replace the tie rods and it should be ready to fire up for the first time. For those that don't know, my build started with just a shell. No suspension, engine, anything.
Im feeling really accomplished right now.
Thanks to all that helped me out.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

oh ya, IMHO the hardest thing to do was swapping out my black antenna for a chrome one. Running the wire through the pillar was a total pain.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

The engine has been in for a few days now. alittle late on the pictures but here is how it sits right now.
I still got alot of stuff to install/replace. Its slowly comming together. So far at this point I havent spent a dime on it yet, well except for some paint but other then that its been a totally cost free build.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

Went out and done some more stuff to my festiva. Here is some pics:
Took out the auto pedals and steering column
Got the manual pedals and new booster installed
Got the steering column swapped out too
Going to get alot more done through out the day. Had to come in and get a nice big glass of tea and cool off.
I assume I need to swap the gas pedals too? For some reason the auto gas pedal dont press down near as much as the manual pedal does?Last edited by 91_festy_Gl; 08-20-2011, 12:44 PM.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

Ouch! Went out to swap out fuel pumps and never thought to check to see if there was any fuel in the tank. pulled the pump out and found this:
After sitting there thinking about how it has had a full tank of fuel since 1998 I went ahead and drained the tank and installed this:
The tank still probably has some nasties in it but shouldn't be no worries. A couple fuel filters should fix the problem.Last edited by 91_festy_Gl; 08-20-2011, 04:41 PM.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

Great. Keep up the good work. Get the old gas out. You dont want that in your injectors. By the looks of your pump/sending unit, you will need to source a good used or new tank.'89L 110k mi. BP/G swapped
