Olive oil, much more sexy.
today I added some fog lights and could not find my bad grille to hack down to make it look nice and then it got really cold. I called it quits to go play with family. while I was routingthe wires I kinked the nylon to my vacuum gauge so I sorta have to do all that over anyway no big deal1993 GL 5 speed

Driving from work and on the way to pay the rent and my fuel pump gives out on me across the street from a Autozone store. After 30min trying to start it I walked across the street,bought a new fuel pump for $121.00+tax $145.00,walked back across the street, lifted the back seat,got my four star screw driver and 45min later,I drove off into the sunset. It was fun and cheaper then calling a tow truck to come take it to a shop and do it. Love this car. Thanks Greg. If you r reading this I called cross cheak but no biggie.Last edited by Speechless35; 11-30-2013, 09:10 AM.

I didn't rough it up at all. I really should have though, but I am always impatient, so I just cleaned it. If it peels again I will just get a power sander and get it all back down to plastic then repaint it.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

Man I so want to put aftermarket wheels on mine. But I just don't think it is worth it by making it a theft target.
Lock nuts don't help that any, since that just ends up getting you a busted window since they know you are going to have the key for them somewhere in the car. Because you would be SOL if you got a flat.Last edited by TorqueEffect; 11-30-2013, 04:02 PM.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

Get yourself some wheels, locknuts, and a flashing red or blue led device that would make them think you have security. My Kenwood head unit acts as this for Mr when I remove the faceplate. But the more I think about it, it'd be hard to steal and hide a car that stands out like mine...

Did passenger side-only completely 100% new brakes on the '89. Shoes, drums, wheel cylinder, wheel bearings, nut, hardware. Got started too late to do both sides. Awaiting tomorrow's sunlight.
No more leaking brakes! Wooooooohooooooo. Pedal felt strong after a quick bleed (just that one wheel, will do 4-wheel after I do the other side).
