What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[getnpsi]

Id love to see someone put in some kind of slide out tailgate (hatch door remaining intact) to extend cargo length for 12' trees or fence posts etc. Wouldn't be hard at all, but scooping up a harbor freight trailer seems to be the best way for a little more money.

Not to mention, over 44,000 newspapers since the end of February

Folded up the backseat and moved over the sub to take a big 'mini-fridge' to work today. Just proves how great and versatile these puppies are.

Furniture, large plants, 8+ foot tall trees, large push mower, 60 cubic feet of mulch....... Just a few of the things my festy has hauled this summer

Mounted my coil, overflow tank, put a lock nut on my clutch cable, plugged in my speedo cable.

Got the new fuel cell mounted -8 line to the quart filter,painted under the hood, finished assembling the b8 long block, made a filler panel for the old spare tire hole and mounted the passenger race seat.

Got the sound deadener in the passenger door, replaced the rubber window track with one in much better shape and replaced the poly weather shield that is glued to the door. Made sure there was poly behind the speaker too. Door sounds much more solid than it used to. Just has a really nice "feel" to it when you open and close it. I'll be getting tothe other door later tonight or tomorrow.

@ Walth, Yeah, I love that place. They're just gettin a lil pricey. Got everything but the evap coil up front. That had a hole in it. I've also ngotta get the hoses, they cut em instead of pullin the core from the AC system.

How do you do A/C hoses?
My junkyard engine came with a compressor but the lines are cut. I want to install A/C eventually and use the compressor I already have but I'm not sure how to change or splice the hoses.

Finally got a B6 VAF today. Installed it at the jy and drove home. Finally no more mismatched air/fuel parts. Had a little fun on the country roads; he pulls past 5k rpms smooth as glass and keeps on going .

Thinking about putting the extra rear springs from 4dr Aspire under the Festiva today. Not sure if I'll get to it today but it'll get done before winter.. she's sagging pretty bad.

[ericsmith32]

yeah if it's in the 1st or 5th line of tread most places won't touch it because of the massive lawsuits there have been over patched and/or plugged tires. I bought new tires for my truck 2 years ago (only have 8k miles on them) and got a nail in one last month. one place wouldn't touch it, the next wanted to just plug it. I was like, umm, no...it's a radial? patch and plug? Wanted me to leave it overnight. morons. So they didn't do it. Brought it home and got a place to P/P in 30 minutes.

so you bought a warranty for your tires from walmart and they wouldn't fix it? That does stink...

That's what I figured it was. Years ago when I worked at monkey wards we had 2 or 3 patch sizes. Yeah I'm done with walmart tires.

I went to the Pick-N-Save and found a 89 with AC and got most of it, did'nt have a wrench big enuff for the lines. Got the fuel sending unit (Cause mine is only good for the first 1/4 tank. Also got the vacuum advance and put that on, hope it helps. Can;t wait to get the rest of the AC tomorrow.
