What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[walth]

nobody needs small aspire parts. I'll probably throw out most everything I have which sucks. Obviously, I tossed everything I could find that was broken but I'm still trying to sell some taillights. I did sell a complete set of headlights/corners in great shape for 100 bucks
those lights and the wheels I carried at PNP made back all the money I spent carrying those swaps.

that should help you. clean em up and post good pics

I'm always on the hunt for festys, tracers, capris, aspires, escorts etc. But no I'm not after a swap right now. I would like to know how your part out went down.

[walth]

guess you don't need a swap anymore, eh?

[neanderpaul]

Pulled the engine/trans, rear brake set up/struts/axle beam, rear seat, gas tank, interior plastics, etc etc





I plan to install the brake set up tomorrow and do my James Bond trailer hitch. Details to follow.

Continued parting out the aspire

Replaced the cylinder head on Twizted yesterday, took him for a road trip to PnP today and he runs so much better. I even scored an Aspire SE cluster to boot while I was there. So Twizted is officially back and ready for the summer trips. His next stop will be the OSX picnic in PA, I was gonna take him officially to Area 241 but time is not going to permit the extra day of travel. I will locate Blue Flight Leader upon arrival to Moraine State Park.

Installed a CB radio in Junkyard Save yesterday.

I pulled more parts from the new brake swap.

I moved with it, does that count?

No one did anything today?
Well I did. Went to two yards and checked out new arrival Festivas.
Didn't find anything really useful

Installed the door pockets I got awhile back.
Washed and waxed.. again. I think I may need to use a different brand/kind of wax.
Used RTV to create a gasket for the fuel pump block off plate.
Got an end cap for my headlight stalk.

[Oren09]

I replaced the head gasket and the head.
I picked up the rebuilt head, all the gaskets and fluids and such and replaced the head and gasket. Started around noonish and finished completely around 6.

I put some seafoam in the crank case because I had a blown head gasket and there was grey sludge all over my valve cover. Changing the oil tomorrow. My car smoked quite a bit for several minutes after running Seafoam through a vacuum line on the intake. Doesn't smoke at all anymore. And it has so much power! I was spinning my wheels the first hour or so because i was used to gunning a weak engine to get moving.

Only bad thing: I forgot the fuel pump mounting hole cover needs a gasket. Quite a bit of oil has leaked out of there. What is this gasket called? Is it just a fuel pump gasket and used with the cover plate? Can I use something else like RTV to make a gasket? None of the parts stores around here carry Festiva things....

But my parking brake cable snapped. D:
