A big shout out to Gary (navdoc101).
He sent me a Haines festiva manual and it arrived just as I was beginning to have questions that are all answered in the book.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Picked up the 121 this morning. Its passed the inspection. It is now roadworthy!!!

Been in talks with an engine machining shop.
Looks like I'm going the whole hog. With the block. Head rebuild as well.

I want 230hp at the wheels.


I'm liking this momentum!!!

I've wanted to buy a flatbed and do this...wish I had the money to invest and the property to put all the cars.

Last summer my brother bought a self storage business. The actual building is 40' wide X 270' long and sits on a lot of approximately 2 acres that's all fenced in. The guy he bought it from also owns a metal recycling business next door. They have a constant flow of vehicles that people sell (and sometimes abandon) to be crushed. My brother is allowed to take anything he wants and strip it for parts...as long as he doesnt disrupt the daily activities and pays scrap metal price for the weight of the parts he takes. He already stripped a 79 F100 that had a 460 motor with an aluminum 4v intake, 600 Holley, headers and a 31 spline 3.50TL 9" rear end. He got the intake, carb, Mallory coil, Sun tach and complete rear end for $35. I'm waiting for the day they get a Festiva, 323, Escort GT or Capri in for scrap!!

So cool!!!
I tell people how that would be a dream come true, and they laugh at me.

Re: Build thread for MOZDA

You know what???
Its that small that I missed it LOL...


Strip down is at a stand still. Been doing family duty for the past week. Won't really do much else for another week.

I'm estimating another full day to finish labelling, photographing, and pull motor out.
Might be able to remove all the wiring and ecu at the same time.
