What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[TorqueEffect]

Did the passenger's side auto adjuster, it actually wasn't seized or stiff at all, but I put the one with the better teeth that I loosened up, on it anyway.

e-brake grabs a little better but still not good enough, I think the cable is stretched, because it is tightened all the way down, and the brakes still barely engage.

God these parking brakes are poorly designed.

Last Monday: finally bought 5 wheels I've been searchingfor / coordinating to get from Canada. They are enroute and will be on my front porch tomorrow. Also bought some parts at my local Ford dealer. Should be here next week.

Today: heading to a JY to look for brown rear seat quarter panels.

My rings don't fit right. Leaves a quarter inch gap. Depressing.

Mine have a gap, too.

I also received my beauty rings from Torque Effect. The two he sent are shinier than the two I already had.

Yeah after I bought my Festy, they were the only two on there, and they were as dirty as can be, I didn't even notice there was even rings on the wheels until I looked closer. lol

I would have kept them on mine after I had cleaned them, but only had the two, and they didn't look too good to me against the black painted steelies, at least in my opinion.

Put the shiny ones both on one side! No one will be the wiser!

Mother's Mag polish. Make them all look amazing.

Auto adjusters fixed, new brake cylinder installed, brakes bled, and everything back together. Will work on the passenger side tomorrow, hopefully I won't burst another cylinder.

I MIGHT need another adjuster on the drivers side, since the teeth were pretty worn and didn't really want to bite.

[TorqueEffect]

Just fixed the e-brake pivot on the driver's side since it was seized solid, but as I was testing the brake to see that they were put together properly, the cylinder sprayed brake fluid everywhere. *sigh*

Looks like it is off to autozone!

[Oren09]

Washed and waxed it. Cleaned interior.
Tightened up the alternator belt I installed last week. Determined the source of an annoying rattle was my threaded rod rear sway bar. Tightened up the nuts on that. Check and added transmission fluid. Passenger axle seal is leaking.

I haven't even looked at it... have to focus on getting my Diesel Mule [F250] tranny swapped before I even think about a Festiva again... Plus some/all of the other work it needs. :/

Got the Harness ready for the B6

Removed the VAF wiring from the front harness all the way to the drivers headlight where it splits. Now it can go down and around the back side of the engine instead of over the top!

Also removed that strange and surprisingly huge non used leg of wiring harness from the pass strut tower to the battery area.

Looks much cleaner.

Polished The radiator

Today i took some time and polished the radiator. It was rather crusty but some elbow grease, triple 000 steel wool, Brasso and heck i think it looks pretty good. It is a radiator from an auto Festiva and is a two core.
