Last night I welded up the lid to my custom battery box. I'm going to be moving it to the back soon to help with better weight distribution.

I got my reverse lights working with my V6 swap, first time my reverse lights have worked since I've owned the car lol

Painted and tinted the Aspire. Still need to tint the fronts, spray some black hammered along the rockers and the wheels. The Festiva is next with pretty much the same paint and tint.

Yes, drain plug is IIRC a 17mm hexhead.
Drain that stuff out and drop it off to me at FMV.
I have need of waste fuel and oil.
Depend how long it has sat, you might want to pull the pump/sender assembly and give the bottom of the tank a good scrubbing. Then open the drain to flush out any accumulated crud. Just a thought.

You do know reason million and 6 that the festiva is the best car ever right? Drain plug, bottom of gas tank, drivers side.

Got a new used b3 dropped into the aspire (thanks mcnasty!) Now I just need to do something about the tank of bad gas.

On an unrelated note I got very little accomplished on my water pump/ timing cover refresh.... basically doing each section of the engine as time and money allow....

[DrMaxwellEdison]

considering the valve cover is on top of the head and as they saud said "I don't know what I'm doing, that's probably what they meant....

[Christ]

Probably... Lol

^^^
I'm wondering if actually meant Valve Cover Gasket!

Well, then you also took the intake, exhaust manifolds, and head off, as well as disconnected the fuel system, partially (or full) drained the coolant, oil, or both.

Not so insignificant now, is it?

[inkswitch]

i know its not hard or any thing massive but i have no clue what i am doing.....new car owner and all, BUT i took my Head Gasket off

First thing you need to spend money on is a Festiva Service Manual.
It will be a life saver. I did all kinds of things the hard way before
I bought one. Doesn't necessarily have to be for the year you have.
(I paid $15 for a 1993 service manual on ebay about 6 years ago, not sure what
they are going for now.)
You have come to the right place for advice. When it comes to
Festivas, there are lots of really smart people here.

Pictures

I'm new at trying to post pictures but here it goes. As you can see, it needs a drivers side front fender and a headlight. Salesman who drove it said he thought it may need a new clutch... who knows. Odometer shows just over 100K. The inside is dirty and looks like someone lived in it. It'll be fun to clean up and see how far I can drive it without spending much on it.
