What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[bravekozak]

No deal!

Tell the dealer that parts are obsolete and that you are doing him a favor by taking it off his parking lot. How did the hood get deadjusted? Did they take the bonnet off for a reason?

[Prafeston]

Looks really nice!!

Hope, I´m in the right categorie.

In quest to get a nice and clean Pride, I drove to a car trader. I couldn't believe my eyes. What a beautiful neat car! 30k miles, automatic and all the funny electrical gimmicks. No rust*, no dents. Only a small rustspot* on the left door and a deadjusted bonnet. No problem.

But wait. Trader wanted 2300 $. My suggestion was 1500 Euro / 1900 $. No deal!

Ran around yesterday and today trying to get the proper axle seals for my car, finally gave NAPA parts numbers off rockauto so here's hoping! Did some bodywork as well without any before/after pictures. Looks good so far though lol.

I had the same problem with NAPA as well. Advance had Moog seals in stock........shock.

So a Tracer or Escort with a intermittent wiper switch will swap over, no problem? Just the switch and stalk, not the entire assembly with the turnsignal stalk and everything.

Wish I knew that, would have picked one up.

Going to have to get one if when I go to the upullandpay next time.

I transferred the whole assembly since I was using both switches. I just had to re-route the plug next to the wiper switch over instead of under because it's positioned differently. I think I've seen write ups where people have just transferred the switch.

I got mine off an old Protege. Has variable intermittent wipe.

1996 mercury tracer at local Lkq
Will parts on these transfer to Festivas?

[sactnato]

Turn switch indicator broke so I went to pnp to pull one off the only Festy there when I spotted a 90 Tracer. Now my turn indicator is fixed and I have an intermittant wiper switch too.

Come get it and you can have it.
It's not totally rust free. There's some rust on the front part of the frame. And quite a lot of collision damage to the core support and control arm mount.

The city complained about inoperable vehicles so I have to get rid of it. The other red on in the ditch is going in the garage.

I really wish I could, but Texas is a bit too far. lol

Thanks for the offer though.

Man, I would like to have that shell......

Rust free cars getting stripped down and scrapped, while we are running rusty ones up here.

[Oren09]

The headliner didn't want to cooperate.
And I don't have anything to cut body panels out.
I have removed about all clips, plugs, bolts etc than I can get out of the shell.

[bravekozak]

That's not stripping. When I strip, the only wheels I leave for the tow truck are two spare tires on the back. I also cut out any body sheet metal I need. Hold it! You forgot to remove the headliner.
