until we close our eyes for good. I will sleep when I die!
I'm a little hunk of tin, nobody knows what shape I'm in. I've got four wheels and a running board, I'm not a Chevy, I'M A FORD!
Changed water pump, put on timing belt, hope it's right. I did discover i had fuel injectors flipped. Dead battery, so still do not know if it will run. When i lowered the engine the alternator now hits the frame and i dont remember it doing that, i may have to do some bashing next time i can get out here.
1993 GL 5 speed
It's a MazdaFordnKia thing, and you will understand!
Got under it the other day. I was replacing the e-brake cable with the used one I got on e-bay a few weeks back. Got it installed THEN realized it was seized. **Facepalm**
I also saw just how bad the rust was on this car.... Let's just say I'm no longer putting any money in this car besides gas/oil/front brake pads
I wanted to replace all brake parts all around but now............. not so much. Rust is terminal.
Like, 2 fist sized holes in the FRAME that the rear susp bolts to........

yes & she called me about 3 times asking all kinds of questions, super excited & i gave her some key chains,arm bands & my ff.com tag cover. she wants to come to fm6 & asked if it would make it that far. i told her our caravan frdfester,advancedynamix,bebandit, lanemeyer & myself were cruising @ 75-85 the whole way & she laughed.

I meant to tell you to have her join the site and come to FM6 as well. You already have another festiva right? If you need any help working on it let me know and I'll make a trip up there!
"Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."
Great start shaun looks like fm5 influenced some work wish you were closer id lend a hand . keep us updated and finish it so it can make the FL meet Shhhhh
Yeah I'm def. a little more motivated then before, lol. I just simply didn't have enough time to get it running, let alone trust a fresh engine swap for that much mileage...but she'll be running soon.
Working on selling my Motorcycle for some money to throw at some more performance for it....
