I walked up to him, and was like, "Hey man, I see you drive an escort GT!"

He was first like "Hey, don;t be hating, it is what I have to roll with."

So I felt bad, and warned him not to leave the keys in it while I was around, and why.

I feel worse in a way now, the other closer tonight swears he saw it down the road with the rear smashed in The only good news is it might be for sell/hit a local JY soon! The seats, from the little I saw, looked good too!

I just call myself an expedited courier.

[Advancedynamix]

Fellow nutrition transportation engineer I see. Maybe you can talk him into a Festiva, since he's already got the goods. lol.

We have a new recruit. Today, I am plotting a BP SWAP, I doubt he knows his danger.

Don't call it a blown engine. It's a horsepower opportunity.

Nawp. Not with hers. I am doing this gratis, all in the name of Festiva Rescue, in the memory of Dean Allan...and cause she is a friend!

MAN! That 89 auto is a pain in the keister! Then, all the electrical connectors have snapped, or worn down tabs, really tough getting them out without breaking them, found a few wires with lots of little breaks, going to shrink wrap them. Exhaust was a monster, and that starter is ....stupid? I dunno, seems something better than that bracket could have been dreamed up, but that one bolt is kind of tough. This one needed some work breaking them loose.

I originally figured 8 or nine hours to reseal the donor engine, pull this one, and drop in the donor. I called it quits after 9 hours, with the old engine ready to be pulled, just fuel lines, trans to motor bolts, and the mount left. Yeesh.

[Oren09]

I threw a shoe at it!

No, not really, but thought about it. #3 is frustrating me.

What have you done to your Festiva today!?

Unloaded the B3 from the back of my 91' and found that I have a Crank pulley for it, pulled the steel bumper support off to put the cover on it, also realized the belt was off the AC which could be why it wasn't working, also diagnosed It needs a MC, all relatively minor repairs which should be done by the weekend

[Oren09]

I had a piece of cardboard on the passenger side blocking the open space and about 3/4 of the radiator. It was slideable to allow uncovering more of the radiator.
Never had any overheat issues, though. Even in our mild winters.

Changed the oil before it got any colder outside.

Thinking of sticking cardboard up in front of the radiator.

I did that, helps a lot. Above about 40 you need to really keep an eye on it though. If you make a nice size piece to cover the whole rad, it will fit right in front if it in that lip, and you can slide it back and fourth at a moments' notice. I had the grille blocked 100% of the time though, even in summer.
