What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[freshtiva]

^ nice Jess!

I ordered some rear struts and steering rack bellows. and i'm nervous as all heck to replace the struts...

Its all down hill once you get the lower strut bolts off. Start spraying them now.

I put my exhaust back together the other day. still leaking somehow...what a pain. but my aspire manifold isn't leaking anymore. I "exhaust putty'd" it. worked really well!!

went to the JY today and found some 80+ dollar raybans! I like em too! lol

also bought a white 626 var int column switch and a complete gray escort console.

Replaced the front sway bar bushings. Link to Pictures.

pulled the crank pulleys off to get to the front seal in the oil pump.....

Mine's from Dec 02 and it has cotter pins on the rear spindles.

Anyway.
Today I got it inspected.
Passed Texas emissions. I was kind of nervous about that, especially with how my car was burning oil for the first few weeks I was driving it.

you should drill it like the aspire spindle so it's cotter pinned. huge upgrade

good idea! tks!

[Damkid]

I tweaked my clutch bracket so it's a smoother feel to it

Getting ready to head out to dad's garage. Going to put a fuel pump/float sensor assembly on Jack's latest festiva - a black sport!!! Spoiler and sport interior!

Then doing the full aspire swap on cream puff and a special James Bond trailer hitch. Pics to follow.

^ I just realized a couple weeks ago that the spare '93 rear beam I had leftover from doing an Aspire swap for another member a while back has the cotter pin setup. I'm rebuilding that whole assembly with all new parts to go on my wife's car, and then I'll put the so-so rebuilt (new bearings and resealed wheel cylinders) beam off of hers onto my white car Oh, and today I tinted the next-to-last window for the white car. May drop the motor and half blown trans in tonight so I can do the HG since I don't have an engine stand lol.

Set down a B6T on my fingers...:toothy6:

In the process of organising my Festiva stash. Too many parts, not enough space. I'll probably have quite a bit of parts for sale in the next little while.

washed it and plotted. my good friend (who gave the car to me) will be in town in a couple of weeks and an extra pair of hands sounds like just the thing i need to get the car lowered and the rack replaced.

also pondered my rear swaybar situation- and just now noticed that eurosport mkI vw 16v front upper sway bars are made of 3/4" and 7/8" steel tube- seems a bit excessive for the fes but i happen to have a supply of similar sized tubing at my other job.

I've done a few things lately. No pictures because it's dark but hopefully I can get some soon. I found a junkyard and scored some parts, pretty far drive though.

-Geo Metro 13s. Sanded them down and sprayed them dark gray.
-New left fender to replace a badly dented one.
-Clear turn signals from eBay.
-Stock "Festiva" mudflaps in the rear.
-Installed a rear wiper.
-Finally, finished off my Escort console swap with the manual trans shift boot. (The console I took mine out of was an auto.)

All it needs now is a bp swap to make me happy.
