I ran some Sea Foam in the booster vacuum line, and into the carb. (I used a syringe). It cleared something out because made it idle a whole lot better and higher. Turned down the idle screw and now puuurrrs like a kitten.It used to idle up and down and sometimes stall, ran it for about 30 minutes and around the block 3 times. Not a single issue! More Sea Foam tomorrow like through the gas, and maybe do a piston soak, MAYBE.

Wow! I renewed the license on 2 vehicles yesterday. My 97 F250 and the wife's 97 Mountaineer. Total for both was $67.00. One of the advantages of driving old junk. I think my 04 Mustang is just over $100 for annual license and the Festiva is around $32.00. No emissions testing or inspection either.

Huli, imagine all the Festivas that people have made into a truck. Now imagine one of those trucks without a roof. That's what I'm goin for.

Gurry, what are you planning for the back that you removed the bolsters? I have been thinking of doing a sort of truck bed.

Now watch that get stolen...
Today I have Rain Xed all the glass on my vehicles.
I love that stuff, especially on my 93 because I can't use the wipers on the highway due to a bad driver's side cowl mount.
I also used Aqua to jumpstart my Ram. The truck didn't like the below freezing temps this morning.

The $400 is only for a new plate luckily. I think it was about $160, with only $30 of that being sales tax.
I added a new "Radio" today. Haha.
The radio he gave me with it had no face plate, and he also threw in another with no wiring harness... I'll get a real one soon, but this looks better than a whole with a bunch of wires hanging out.

Looking to get my car on the road as well before I do the swap, it'll be much easier to pass emissions as is. It needs brakes at least as far as safety is concerned othewise it's in good condition. Just rotors + pads.

Alberta is about $85 a year for registration/plate renewal. However, if you have any unpaid parking or photo-radar (yes we have photo-radar) tickets those have to be paid first.

Originally posted by Americanclassicg View PostNo, no inspections whatsoever. However, I believe our fees our higher than normal.
Texas is about $70 per year plus $15 title fee on first registration. Sales tax on Aqua was $28. Plus a $50 delinquency fee for not registering within 30 days of purchase. Total was $176.
Inspection was $40. It an annual thing and all PreOBDII cars less than 25 years old must pass emissions testing.

(Friday, 15 Feb)
- Cleaned it inside and out in preparation to take it to the paint shop
- Took some pix of some possible stripe options for the new paint job
- Dropped it off at the paint shop for a fresh coat; won't see it again for about a week and a half
- Bought 4 new tires (Nexen N3000 195/45ZR/15)
Cheers!Last edited by Twistiva; 02-16-2013, 03:04 AM.
