    Just order all new brakes for the skittle. Brembo Aspire Rotors. Centric Rear Drums. New Hardware front and back. New Friction Master Top Teir Pads. Auto 7 brake shoes etc. The skittle is getting the complete aspire swap, Complete with Aspire Struts.

    Scored a yakima roof rack for the evil whitestiva for 20 bucks at the junkyard. Looks like it's gonna fit it like a glove once I get the correct clips and feet.

      Got down to Zanzer's to work with him some on my skittle. We got the motor pull and disassembled. The previous owner exploded and shredded the brand new clutch and cracked the flywheel(new also) by riding the clutch because he didn't know how to drive a 5 speed apparently.

      Lots of Pics.

      Pile of New Parts

      The pile expanded after that picture was taken.



      This car was still running the stock 20+ year old motorcraft fuel filter.








      Starting to see the clutch issue here.













      Unfortunately the clutch wasn't salvageable...

      Pitted Pulley shredding belts.


      Almost disassembled.






      The wizard checked and gave it his approval.

              NC ... did you use Imageshack to load pics?
              All your pix appear to be broken ..... Funny, I just went to upload pix to Imageshack and ..... I believe IT"S GONE!

              I got a message saying security certificate was not valid, and when I did a search, It said Imageshack was no longer a FREE service, but now a suscription service!

              Where are MY PIX!!!!!!!

                No I uploaded them from my phone to dropbox and dropbox doesn't like me to embed photos. I got pissed off after 45 minutes of uploading and sorting and embedding photos and left it for the night. I will fix them tonight after work.

                        That'll buff out.

                          Since nobody wanted to play my little game, I'll spill the beans...

                          I bought a third festy.

                          My first two festies were fuel injected the new one is a carby and that is the new escort carb for it.
