What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[greywolf200]

Picked up my hot cleaned parts from the machine shop and the hot wash didn't even get some of the stuff left on there by the Dawn Power Dissolver. Now if Matt will send my HLA shims and header, it can go back together..... I really want to drive it to Madness.

^^ and then on top of that, valve guides are SUPPOSED to run dry.

Hardened iron on cast iron, go figure that out...


A day or so and oil just past exhaust ports will burn and clean out. What you're seeing is whatever sitting in the manifold from old seal bypass id imagine

The smoke does seem to be getting thinner and thinner. It still leaks massive amounts of oil, but at least it wont burn it, lol

Starting to get pretty frustrated with the BP swap right now, it's pretty fricken tight in the engine bay and we've only managed to get one mount attached at this point due to the 5th gear cover hanging up on the driver's framerail. Probably have to pull it all the way out to get enough room to swing a hammer in there.

FINALLY put in the air horn. Sounds great!! YAY!! Deer get out of my way!!!

Anyone want a B3?

Carb and carby intake?

Usable used clutch and flywheel/pressure plate?

Cargo covers?

Green hatch that's been poorly painted black? [could probably clean the crappy black off it and have the green back]

Set of tail lights?

Fenders?

Doors?

Any other random parts?

I gotta finance this crap somehow...

[I can deliver stuff within a reasonable distance for fuel money... my van only gets about 18MPG though unless I borrow dad's Festy]

Thanks...
Had some scuffs but they came right off....best thing I've found to clean the plastic parts is a Mr Clean Magic Eraser sponge and water.
Cleans it up like Magic.

Give it a day or 2 to clear out.

Yanked the perfectly good mid-mile B3 out, hacksawed the welded exhaust and pulled that out, too. Noticed that I must've dragged the car over something at some point because the left side full-length stiffening rail is dented like crazy and the fuel tank has a huge dent in it as well.

Pulled all the A/C components without breaking anything in case anyone wants them. Fins on the condenser are a little beat up, but a radiator comb can fix that easily.

Everything was still under pressure when I opened the system up, so I had to close it back up and have a friend come over with his A/C service crap and suck all the refrigerant out.

Afaik it's factory installed and actually worked. Been too long since I drove the car to confirm it though.

How much you want for that and do you wanna bring it to Madness?

[greywolf200]

Ordered a power window kit for it.

Yes I forgot, I bought Rio power windows from 91bluefestiva.
