    I meant to tell you to have her join the site and come to FM6 as well. You already have another festiva right? If you need any help working on it let me know and I'll make a trip up there!

    Also, it seems to be burning quite a bit more oil than it once did......

    Got under it the other day. I was replacing the e-brake cable with the used one I got on e-bay a few weeks back. Got it installed THEN realized it was seized. **Facepalm**

    I also saw just how bad the rust was on this car.... Let's just say I'm no longer putting any money in this car besides gas/oil/front brake pads

    I wanted to replace all brake parts all around but now............. not so much. Rust is terminal.

    Like, 2 fist sized holes in the FRAME that the rear susp bolts to........

    Changed water pump, put on timing belt, hope it's right. I did discover i had fuel injectors flipped. Dead battery, so still do not know if it will run. When i lowered the engine the alternator now hits the frame and i dont remember it doing that, i may have to do some bashing next time i can get out here.

    Oil change and a complete brake job. New rotors, calipers, pads, drums and shoes. New rear wheel bearings as well. Pedal is way too soft, I think I may have got some air in the master cylinder so I'm going to bleed everything again.
