Gutted the dash to a shell, then it rewarded me by blowing the coolant crossover tube out on the lower waterneck on the freeway. Damn lil cars getting smart lmao!

Installed Rear 12v plug.

7/8 hole saw is perfect to keep the plug nice and tight in the hole


Testing Wiring


And completed.

and i say you pull engine when you paint and cover that bay with new blue and pop a real clutch and efi harness in while your at it

The engine is coming out Saturday for the new clutch I have. I'm going to try to get some tensioners replaced on it and maybe water pump just for the heck of it. might as well do it now while it's out. The engine bay is getting all fresh new blue paint and I started moving some electrical components and rerunning wires. The valve cover is getting the same paint on the car. Haven't decided if I want to put back the old windshield wiper system yet. I thought about converting the bottle to a rad over flow bottle. Still have some work to go.

Rear end of my festy is starting to pop and buckle on unusual angles..... Hope it makes it through winter without the rear axle falling off!!!!

I dropped the engine at the yard and started pulling parts that weren't messed up from that wreck for my auto to manual swap in my gray car. Today I got the manual plate for block-to-trans and I got the entire flywheel, clutch and pp and all bolts and starter for 33 bucks. not to mention...I pulled about 5-8 pounds of bolts that they didn't charge me for.

I also moved some parts to a new row that I'll wait for an all you can carry lol

and there is a sho here at cunningham brothers pns brand new row!

Took carb cleaner to Shtinky today, got the choke working again, putting a recharge kit to the K&N, and found one of the disty cap ears cracked! No wonder it missed in that hard downpour that time!
Replaced that rad fan switch finally....
Man!! Too much to do!

[bobstad]

is there a Festivas Anonymous?

looked at mine in the driveway and thought to myself "i need to get this damn swap done!" poor thing is rotting away sitting there, i can hear it crying at night

we need to start a self-help group! the front half of my Aspire brake swap has languished since April of '07. Probably didn't mean that type of swap, though?
