"I discovered the air filter has been nibbled on by critters, and should be replaced"

Man the critters love the air box for some reason. Ive seen several air filters chewed up. I put some screen mesh over the inlet hole to prevent that. It doesnt take long either , just leave the car sit over the weekend. Ive found nests, acorns, seed, etc in more than one festiva air box.

John, you still need a few things;

I discovered the air filter has been nibbled on by critters, and should be replaced.
The radiator and upper and lower hoses should be replaced.
The driver's side half shaft is clacking, so that still needs to be changed out.

Other than a bath, she's ready to roll, hombre'!!!!!

Jim,
Will do!
Already have air filter and should have the driver side half shaft that was the pair of the one you installed.
Have another radiator, will order upper and lower hoses.

Thanks so much for this rescue and all your work!
You saved my butt big time.
Left message as to arrangements for returning the baby!
Talk later.

I thought I would post this , just a FYI for some looking for that bypass hose , It was a find that I posted back in 07' . It is the correct bend .
================================================== =

If it is your small bypass hose that comes off the T-stat housing ,
It is no longer available , so you will need this one ..

Gates hose part # 18206 and on the other side of the tag is #0 72053 19142 4

This has the correct bend and you will need to cut a little length off , and it will look like a factory hose .

It will fit right and will not kink .
