    Not today, but tomorrow going down to the junkyard, they just got in another Festy. Hopefully the hood is in good shape

    Dropped it off to have paintless dent repair on the passenger door and to get a good paint buff. The next 3 days with no festy, will be driving the wife's Escape till then.

    Bushings into passenger window.
    Bearings/seals both sides in the rear wheels.
    Installed a spare tire int the tire well, that fits!

    Well I was gonna remove the rear beam and have it powdercoated but TBH I have no idea what the eff I am doing and the strut bolts are just spinning the rubber and blah blah blah. How discouraging.

    The metal bracket that bolts to the beam probably rotted through and busted. Mine gave with a nice POP a few days ago and hasn't worked since. Oh well, Aspire assy goinig on SOON.


    Ooo yesterday and today I'm undertaking the task of putting Aspire seatbacks and cushioning on my Festy seat pans. I need new Festy bottoms though since the rails are SUPER LOOSE.

    Sorry for the late reply the steering wheel is about an inch smaller and it feels so right an yes functional horns too, today the ford is in the shop getting a good going through and all bushings replaced with energy suspension ones, working at ford owns all.

    I can sure try! :p Though to be fair, everything but the lever was in perfect working order

    I would be more inclined to try and fix it, but I hate messing with those rear bearings.
    Pffft, they aren't anything. Though I've had them apart more times than I care to admit LOL

    And wow is that lever in the drum ever a PITA!

    I need to get some more bearing grease for the rear wheels, I think I threw out my can when I got rid of my first two festys. When will I ever learn....
