    Changed the oil and the o2 sensor as well.
    On cream puff I pulled the front pass hub assembly. Have warped rotors. Was going to get them turned and have new bearings put in. But I stopped because I couldn't stop thinking about an aspire swap.

    Put my white 93 GL auto with air back on the road. I had a windshield put in yesterday. Got it inspected today.

    Replaced the Solid Lingage Bushing & Sleeve. The bushing was all ate up , not much left. Could not git to the Shifter Bushings with 'Tiva on ramp. Not enough room , & no fun on my back on the ground. My sons gonna see if a friend of his will let us rent or use one of his shops lifts. Maybe for a 12pack of Coronas.

    Mine runs like crazy and just blows the smoke out of the crank case.
    .
    It runs pretty good as long as I keep the number two spark plug clean. It fouls up pretty quick and starts to miss. I have lots of smoke coming out the exhaust. Best I've come up with is valve seals or head gasket, so I'm going to put a known good head on, replacing the head gasket in the process.

    If it still smokes or has issues, then I know the problems is bad piston rings.

    Getting it checked and seals replaced so I can swap heads on my car- hopefully in one day. And hopefully cure the smoking.

    Actually in mine there was all three holes needed for the Escort light. You have to cut towards the back and some to the front to make it work.

    pull down a little on your headliner and look about an inch back towards the hatch, there's already an extra unused (is it threaded?) hole it's magic! just re-wire it and screw it in and good to go

    How do the Escort dome lights mount? I looked at them, but they're much bigger than the Festiva ones. I currently have an Aspire dome light held up by the grounding screw. It's crooked and ugly, but it works.

    Installed an Escort dome light with DriverOnes help. (He did most, if not all the work).
    Many Thanks!!

    .... Replaced the Master Brake Cylinder in my Festie today. The first replacement was defective, wouldn't pump out of the rear cylinder brake line fitting while trying to bleed it. Thought for a while, on the second one, I was going to have a leak from the tank, on top, plugs in to rubber grommet on the front of the cylinder casting. Bleed it down and took it for a test drive, all seems well, job done.
