What have you done to your Festiva today!?

Re: What have you done to your Festiva today!?

Took the transmission apart to discover that the 3-4 synchros and bearings were shot.

When I pulled the engine I also discovered that the rear transmission mount is broken.

Sent from somewhere west of here!

That's where I got mine, too. They have two sizes. One is $17 and one is $14 here in SC. They're in the lighting and accessories aisle. I'm going to measure to see if my hatch light will accept the smaller one. I used the larger of the two for my dome light.

I ordered from ebay, two kind:
these and these

I got one on ebay for $5-7 w/ shipping.
Just search for the bulb size and LED. You'll have to browse through pages to find a panel one like that. Mine has a spring loaded "festoon style" connector with wires that connect to the LED board.

I have a smaller one stuck in at an angle in the cargo light.

Not sure about Driver one but mine came from autozone.

Ooh, the three-spoke kind? Pics!

I received my install plate in the mail:


I thought I'd show off my light upgrade as well:

Where did yiu get the LEDs for the domelight?

[navdoc101]

Installed my new Junspeed lic. plate lights & lenses. The old lenses were yellow & cracked & the bulbs were melted into the bulb holders. Nice brigth cop friendly tag lights now!

Thanks, I recently found a JY about 45 minutes from here with five Festivas. All have engines. Two have white tach clusters. One with A/C. There's also an '88 323 with a single cam B6/5 speed with 125K. I'm going to make up a shopping list and go back ASAP.

The hatch latch is the latch that opens the hatch door, correct?

Thanks,

That is correct. Looks like you have a lot to choose from there! Get that b6!!

Engine and transmission are out of the car. I'll tkae the tranny apart to see what damage has been done. Then it's on to the engine... new oil pump, pan gasket and a general cleanup.

Valve cover gasket and two new belts. No more squealing belts! Oh, I washed the engine bay and then the whole car.

[koRnhead]

New axles, new calipers and pads, and a new o2 sensor......love working on the car when Im getting paid by work.

Is this junkyard in China Grove, NC?

[greywolf200]

It goes under the rear pass side speaker. The wiring is in place for it. The hatch latch contains the switch for it. The light can be sourced from escorts, aspires, and maybe others. But the hatch latch comes from festys only.

Drove it all over a massive junkyard. I picked up a cargo light and hatch latch from an LX for a local festy guy.

I was wondering about a cargo light. Where is it and what it look like? (I guess I don't have one.)
