What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[kellen302]

Found out that Mustang II's have a 4x4.25 bolt pattern, after painting, mounting and balancing all the tires and rims to put them on my festy... 28$ of pick n pull rims out the door

Nice!

Is that you ECM that's hanging kinda low?

[Flyin4stroke]

I picked these up the other day. Dash mat and electric mirrors
probably sell these 88 harness.

Got this today will be installing if it ever stops raining.

Took the Lights/Turn/Wiper assembly off Surf Blue and and replaced it with the one I pulled at LKQ yesterday ($18 total cost).
Disassembled and cleaned the new one really good and greased all the moving parts with white lube.
(If you ever have to take one apart be careful not to lose all the little ball bearings. There are four of them.
One larger one held in by a spring in the middle of the turn signal rocker arm.
Two smaller in the light dimmer (one at the end of each fork with tiny springs inside the forks).
One under the Hazzard on/off rocker switch.

It's all back together and works like new now. No more having to remember to turn off the signals.

Did you broach the holes before pressing in the studs?

[Festevil3]

The drilled and slotted rotors will help alot, BTW nice stuff!

[Prafeston]

That looks hot!

[M3NTAL]

My buddy installed new bearings and press in studs for my aspire knuckles.

Cool, thanks for confirming that.

Now does anyone with a pre-90 Festiva have a photo of how the main part is attached? I still feel like it's not lined up like it should. I think it will still work how I have it, but I'd like to make sure it's right and safe!

The little clip you're holding is for the rear cargo cover.

[Prafeston]

Today I installed manual belts in my '92...well only on the driver side cause I wanted to test to see if it would work.



It seems to be working, but the main part that mounts where the old motor went seems like it should be hooking up to the top part here.



I also had a pile of screws/bolts/attachments from pulling various things at the JY awhile back and I'm curious if this was supposed to be used somehow to make it connect up top...anyone with an '89 out there that could help me figure this out?



Oh and I almost forgot I had this...look forward to trying to get it put in in the next week or so..
