Last month I bought 3 for $800 with one of them being a daily driver, auto, with all new cold ac. One of the parts cars had a label in the door jam saying it was equipped with a special trim option by InterTech. I'm not sure what was special about it: it did have a spoiler and white aluminum wheels. An acquaintance of mine had his rear end fall out on him after spending about $800 on the car. I've now purchased that one from him for $100 and have started stripping it down to the shell for parts and the drive train that I will use to make whole one of the other parts cars I got that some how or another has managed to stay rust free.

Car wash, oil change and replaced the 25 year old turbo oil drain hose with a brand new one directly from Mazda! The old one was rock hard and a piece had already broken off... fortunately right at one end past the clamp so it wasn't leaking... yet!

I started sanding my Spoiler for paint this weekend. I would have just scuffed it and repainted it but someone put some stripes on it and they left a ton of glue so I decided to go ahead and sand it all down.

Modestly, al I can say I did was clean out all the parts/tools/garbage that was in Silver Bullet for 8 years so I can vacuum all the mouse turds/nests from the crevices. Tomorrow, I shall install the new fuel tank, throw the carpet and padding in, and start on re-installing the dashboard. Well...if the weather holds out. I do not have a garage to work in, so I am at the mercy of weather.

What I did today...

Cleaned off all the old grease from everything and put all new bearings and seals in my "drag racing" Aspire rear end that will soon be going on RED, my BP Festiva drag racer.

Also marked on the wheel drum in permanent ink which way to turn the nut to loosen it -- no more stripped threads for me!

re-installed the original molding after horrible fit of kia pride moldings (see earlier post). cleaned and scuffed the old dull mold pieces and shot with SEM Trim Black. this is near perfect match to OEM shine. installed refinished wiper arms with blade tip 1" above cowl mold as per factory spec. next step - 1st PA state inspection.

Changed plugs wires and distributor also plugs running white so hot I think it's too lean. I'm assuming it's the exhaust or a sensor b3 efi

I hate munching mice!

I put my R/H reinforcement on yesterday.
Today, I tried to fit the L/H reinforcement over the power antenna motor.

No way.
Time to PM Hot_Wheels.

Today... I swapped in a new stereo, fixed some mice munched wiring, and ordered new headlight bulbs... first day of restoration! Far to go!

More work.
Put door on. Fixed accessory belt. Bled the brakes. Fixed the dash. Drove it around without the windshield and fender with the hatch flying open. Found some cones too.

Is it the Kia Rio power steering rack I need to get? Drain and cap it?

Yup, Longer throw AND quicker ratio all in one!

[WTFestiva]

Actually did the work for festy#2. Drivers side lights, rebuilt master cylinder, put brake line on, put throttle cable on. Did some sick burnouts. Now looking to get the fender and all on, saw wheel bearings loose so that's on the list.
