What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[bravekozak]

One winter I got to the Buffalo airport ahead of time for a flight to New York City, I had a big parka on and laid down for a snooze. Someone pulled up and flung their door open and hit my car with me in it. Boy they were scared when I jumped out in my huge parka. Six feet of anger in a huge winter parka. What's the big idea of smashing your door into my car like that? How much are you going to give me to fix it?

That's why my daily-driver auto is such a beater. Come out of Big Lots and the guy in the Mustang 'accidentally' parks to where I have to enter via passenger door, because my driver's door has a single foot to open?

Whoops. I just added a small ding to my door.. and it's got a little Mustang green on it, too!

What did I do to (or for) my Festiva today?

Found a brand new door ding just above my left rear wheel well. So much for my flawless $2000 paint job.

:gritteeth: :nightmare: :gritteeth: :nightmare: :gritteeth: :nightmare:

I've got a pix of my Festiva taken about 10 days ago. No door ding. Today, door ding. Right down to the friggin' bare metal. No note. No phone number. No nothing. And what are the odds that some idiot smacks their door hard enough to destroy the other car's paint layer right down to the bare metal and not know what they just did? About zero....

I hate, h-a-t-e, HATE inconsiderate people!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fabbed my front motor mount and installed it...now I still need to fill all the fluids before I can start the stupid thing.

Fixed the exhaust leak, but it will soon get a more permanent fix. But this is the quietest the car has been since I bought it, I can't even really hear an exhaust leak anymore over the engine, so everything seems to be well sorted.

Also spun the strut top-hat around on the passenger side, now both sides sit level.

Put the new Passenger side mirror on. Got the washer motor in the mail and will change it on Saturday

Did you end up getting it from someone else?

I use metric nyloc nuts on the shifter bolts. Too much continuous movement to chance a nut falling off in the snow.

Today I got the right CV axle changed and the front end aligned. ($100.00 total). I also found the shifter bolt loose on the shifter end of the linkage. After tightening it up, no more sloppy shifter. Plus got the front end aligned on my Dakota and the oil changed.

Installed studs & lug nuts on my Aspire front suspension swap.

Today I cut metric threads into a hurst ball I had lying around and stuck it on my civic shifter. I also cut my rio springs I think two coils...

[defprun]

Spaced my subframe so the motor would sit flat in the engine bay with the aspire mounts. Still have to fab a front mount. Installed the passenger side axle and the shifter linkage as well..
