What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[M3NTAL]

Hey we wont judge you!^^^^^

Washed it, waxed it, made love to it.


No, not really on that last one.

Made a shift "knob". Can't find my I-Mark shift knob (probably in the van over at dad's house where I keep it and the trailer. So I got a couple M10x1.25 nuts and a cracked 17mm 3/8" drive deepwell socket and drilled out the center ever so slightly with a 13/32" drill bit so it just slips over the threads on the shifter without damaging them. Drop the nuts down into the socket, and just twist it on. When it gets to the bottom of the threads where the shifter threads on, tightens up Not too pretty (or long term) but it will keep the threads off my hands till I find that shift knob I'll try to remember to snap a pic when I get home, my phone isn't sending pics at the moment

Oh yeah, I tightened up the e-brake too and put a bolt and nut on to pull the downpipe back tight on the manifold where one of the studs apparently gave out (or I forgot to reinstall it :/ lol)

[FestYboy]

[Ford Fester]

[freshtiva]

I had to pick up a van part at the local Ford dealer. I drove my car Freshtiva.It was a round trip of 44 miles which brings the year to date mileage on that car up to 94 miles. Its fun to take to the dealership, answered seveal question about the car and turned down a couple of offers to buy it. One from a customer who feared I was trading it in. He was driving a Cadillac CTS ?? One of the salemans sister use to have one and loved it. The two ounce metal piece for the van cost $70. Ive bought festivas for less.

Changed the oil because it was ticking rather loudly.... Still ticking. Whatevs. I accidentally backed it into the 04 GP though... whoops

[redbirds25to5]

I changed the oil, filter and cleaned the TB. I checked my hoses too. Unfortunately, one (the section that attaches to the air filter system) is cracking pretty badly. Anyway, still, it was a good day! I'm hoping to get some nasty license plate and door screws removed from my hatch tomorrow.

- pulled out the rear bumber assy for sanding and painting.
- cleaned and applied rust converter on the rusty rear bumber

There's this WICKED stretch of washboard road on my paper route.... hehehhehe

Today it was so bad that my phone went from the spot on the dash to the left of the speedo, to BEHIND the drivers seat.

So much fun. Cracks me up every morning. Literally cracks the festy up. LOL

Yup i understand about those gravel roads. The road from I35 west to the Festiva Ranch was a blast to drive, for some reason the Festy kept wanting to go faster, so hey why not.

[bhazard]

installed new boost controller, and a new innovate MTX L wideband! added a support to my hood latch!

My MTX-L just died the other day. No idea why. It was great up til that point.

Oh , but i still like the way you get things done - ur a get er done kinda guy without fear . Didnt know they were dealer installed , interesting .

lol...thanks...I guess I have always been that way....gotta do what ya gotta do with what you have to do it!

[avitsef]

lol...Actually....that sunroof you are referring to never leaked after I installed it. The one I was referring to is actually a dealer installed original sunroof (they were not installed from the factory), that was put in the car when it was new.
Seal lasted 21 years so I guess I can not complain.
