Fixed it finally.. been undrivable since the first snow storm in February. So I was wrong and the timing belt had jumped 2 teeth. It must of been running somehow for over a year like that. Replaced the timing belt and tensioner. Now time for a wash and air up the tires.. could tell the flat spots!

Well, yesterday I offically got my '88 Festiva home. Today, I sanded the black spray paint off the head and tail lights (not sure what the previous owner was going for); repaired, painted and reinstalled the grille; repaired the hatch window brake light; and gave the interior a general detailing. Nice to have a project car again.

Attempted removing the guide bolt and (I learned its called a cage nut) the framed in nut to replace the LCA with no avail.

Was at AutoZone buying some things for my AMC Eagle project and found this high heat paint. Should be a great match for my orange wheels and I'll be doing the oil pan in it when I replace the gasket!

It's called Burnt Copper

Cranked it up and went inside while it was warming up. Went back out it was over heating and leak water.
Look and had to kick start radiator fan.
Dang something else to buy.

Otherwise this combo fits with no trouble even with two coils removed from springs.

reset the autoadjusters on the brake that was dragging.

Wheel was fine for a bit, now it is dragging again. anyone got any fixes?

Are all the springs & clips in place? If so try spraying it down with PBblaster or wd40.

Sunday I finally fixed the gas leak in my Festiva. Every time I filled it up I smelled gas till it dropped about a quarter tank. I took off the cover where the filler tube is and found a cut in the small vent tube for the filler tube. I replaced it and no more gas smell. I was hoping it was the filler tube or vent tube. I'm glad it was an easy fix.
The tank was in great shape. Someone must have replaced it a few years ago.

For the first time since I bought my little auto, I got to put an A/C belt on it (it was missing the tensioner). I would swear I felt cold air!!! Oh yeah.

Getting an A/C repair kit tomorrow. It'd be nice to have the windows up when it's 120 degrees again this summer.
