What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[frankenfester]

Painted the car below the side trim with truck bed coating, and it looks pretty damn good if I do say so myself.
Also painted the rear bumper glossy black because the old bumper specific matte paint peeled off in allot of places.

Pics to come after I paint the front bumper. Also learned not to paint big things in the cold, the paint will run like a mofo, luckily the runs are not to bad, was mostly able to hide them with another coat over top.

I Also ruined my jacket, and possibly a pair of pants. I didn't realize how messy that truck bed coating is. Also I am going to be showing up to thanksgiving dinner with allot of it on my hands because I can't get it out.

Did you roll it on? Or spray?
Nastiness is expected with any paint type product.

Wear the gloves you were supposed to wear for painting, to Thanksgiving dinner. That way they won't see your hands. Buy a mechanic's worksuit on eBay like me.

Installed a set of Moog Aspire tie rod ends.
Normally $48 each. I got two for a whole lot less.

Truck horn FTW.

Dual horns like on my 64 Cuda! Almost sounds like a train.

[DriverOne]

added a louder horn to Skippy saturday, now he sounds angry when the horn blows, not happy (it's a good thing).

Did you reverse flush the heater core to ensure it isn't partially blocked?

Nah, I will have to do that. Luckily I have new hose clamps on there, so it would be a pain getting them off.

[bravekozak]

I have the fourth one to make the set complete.

[greywolf200]

I forgot to mention, when I was at the Winston-Salem PAP yesterday scoring parts, the '93 Festiva has 3 OE 13" alloys with caps. Someone score them before they're scrapped.

You should get one of those laser guided temp scanners from harbor freight. For giggles shoot the two hoses on your firewall and compare. If those arent new maybe they are gunked up?
