yeah, I wasn't able to sand it by hand, I needed power tools to do so, which is why it took so long for me to get around to it. lol :p1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

Switched out a broken Headlight and painted the assemblies as well as switching out the yellow marker light with an amber one.

Painted the Grill and Bumper. (Looking at these close up I should have spent more time prepping each, specially the bumper.)

Also Painted the Wiper Arms and started putting a Mirror on the passenger side. Is there a special inside plate for the non powered mirrors on the passenger side because the mirror I have doesn't have one so I'm just modifying the old one to make it work."The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles.

Well the IAC connector that both rockauto and autozone lists for a 1992 Escort GT will not fit the IAC on the 1992 Escort BP.
I then lookup 1996 Escort GT, and find what looks like the correct connector.

Since I deleted the purge valve and charcoal canister, the plug got tucked into the fender. So i'll take a look. I did have a spare festiva harness, but all the plugs that looked like they possibly could fit, didn't.
I'll report back whether it is the same plug or not.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

BP is up and running!
Still needs a bit of work to button it all up, but it runs and drives. But very loud since it is minus an exhaust.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)
