Fun at pick & pull

[freshtiva]

Me and my newest festiva bud Bob went to P & P today to pull a rear torsion beam from an aspire. There were two there earlier but when we got there only one was left and the suspension had already been removed from it. We did get some parts off of a 89 auto festiva. It had complete factory air and sun roof if anyone is interested. Looked like the sun roof leaked. I got the 89 auto radiator shroud Ive been looking for and Bob got a MAF and a hose he needed. The car only had 151,000 on it. Should still be on the road. Bob also got a intermittant wiper combo switch, some front mud flaps, and some chrome/plastic interior door handles. I snagged the stuff pictured below. They didnt even charge me for the stuff in the second picture. Cant beat fun at the P & P, only cost a buck to get in.

Nice score!!! What do you want for the sunroof????? I have been looking for one.

That looks like very satisfying haul gents! The festys are getting very rare these days!

whats that clock out of, will it fit a festy?

I am looking for a Festiva power steering pump that works. Let me know if you run across one. I need the interior seal for the sunroof and the white plastic retainers that hold the headliner up. Please mail me if you ever run across another one.

I didnt get the sunroof. I looked at it and someone had used some silicone around it to keep it from leaking. It appeared to have a bad seal between the glass and the frame. I didnt know if you could find a new seal for it or not so I left it. The glass and hardware all seem good. I popped it open.

A mighty haul indeed. It's about time you got an aqua Festiva.

[freshtiva]

That aqua festiva is Bobs, but you're right, I do need one.

Bravekozak I might have some of those retainers. You mean like the ones that are back towards the hatch ?

That clock is out of a 323. It will plug right into any of my homemade clock wire harnesses and work. It the same size at the festiva clock the only difference is the plug on this one is centered and on the festiva the clock plug is off to one side. The mounting ears on this one have a slightly different angle from the festiva clock too. I have a picture of the differences somewhere. If can be made to work easily with a face plate in the center console or elsewhere. The center plug location lines up exactly on a dash mounting bolt if you put it in the normal spot on the dash.

I made my first trip to Pull-A-Part today. I only had about a hour but I had a blast. Never knew breaking cars down could be so much fun. Found an 88 Festiva that had pretty much been gutted BUT all corner lights were in tact so I pulled front turn signals (orange), rear lights, radio bazil, Festiva/Ford emblems and ash tray. Seats looked great with no stains or tears but had been in the weather so long they were soaked through so didn't get them. Moved to a Mercury Topaz and found a set of cup/change holders all for $29. I could have done more with more time but had to cut it short. Will definitely go back soon. Now I see why you guys get excited about these trips.

[cubstiva1]

how do i get one of your homemade clock wiring harnesses? i'd love to have a clock in both of mine.

[SimonTuffGuy]

Nice score! There's a P&P near me that is similar... The dude looks at your stuff and makes up a quick price... Harry's, the do a freaking inventory of your stuff. Blah.
