What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Movin]

Changed oil and filter. Installed new rear tranny mount. from Daves discount parts
on line, a great place, pulled apart rack and serviced. Replaced strut and set
front end the way it will remain.

Should I order red hydraulic plastic hose spiral wrap to put on the coil over??
I think it would look cool.

The front is where I want it, Makes my 13 snows look like kart tires!
should I raise the back more? the car looks level but ? It kinda looked
alright before higher in the back. Should I move the tires toward the back
in the rear?? The front tires are moved to the front about 1/2 inch and the
front is 2 inches wider...maybe I should get 1 inch spacers for the rear?

Almost time to order the new tires!!

Today I put in a rear wiper gear that I took out of a 1998 Taurus stationwagon for a down position rear wiper on my Festiva. It worked perfectly. I also replaced a broken left front corner lamp.

That's new info to me! We have only used the escort rear wiper gear to mod our wipers to the down position. Nice!

One more pic of corner lamps

Or, if you're one of the lucky ones that has a 2 piece cable, disconnect it at the joint about 8 inches above the transmission.

that's not a stock festy cable in your car... maybe from a protege or aspire?

pulled the engine and trans out of the shell that's destined for Gauge_half_inch.

All you have to do to complete this 10 minute job is release the speedo cable from the top of the transmission.

Well my brother n I tore the interior apart on my festiva. I think I've removed about 20lb of built up gravel dirt from most of the corners. I swept out vacuumed n blown out the inside orbs car. I just finished sweeping vacuuming n pressure washing the carpet(it looks almost brand new almost all the stains are gone) after I re j b weld the gas tank, scince the ebay new tank I got the sending unit hole is different. I will pressure wash thi inside carefully.

Got a new tool!

Bosch Pocket Driver

Got it for $1 too! Customer brought it in and said it was broken and they didn't want to pay the $25 to send it in and get fixed so he said I could have it. Bought the part fixed it myself and good to go! The directional piece that picks which direction to spin broke. That was it!
