    While replacing the rear wheel bearings on the driver's side I noticed gat the gas tank was wet. Didn't think anything of it at first then realized that the car had been in the garage for a couple of days. Turns out that the tank has a leak by one of the seams :-(

    Time to find a new gas tank.

    That looks good, are you going to paint the bumper body color?

    Nothing unfortunately. Mother has just been using it to drive to work. lol

    Thinking of using my free 4 wheel alignment thing from Tirediscounters that I got for buying a tire for the Monte, on the Festiva instead after I fix the passenger side tie-rod. Because i am eventually going to need 2 new front tires on the Monte, and they will just give me another free alignment when I do buy those tires.

    They couldn't do it on the Monte because they said one of the tie-rods were bad and needed changed first, and just gave me a voucher, and nothing on the voucher ties it to the Monte Carlo.

    That's the best black grill setup I've seen IMO. Because it ties into the hood and lights instead of just being a black grill.

    I replaced the valve cover gasket. It was drooling oil all down the front of the engine and it got into the spark plug ports. I had to pull the plugs and clean them all to get it to start. She's all clean and happy now.

    Got to feel the clutch for the first time. I'm surprised how light a SPEC stage 2 is. Honestly, it's nearly as feathery as stock. Blew my mind a little.

    Can't wait to drive a Festiva again. Been way too long.
    These E series clutches are scary light. I put a brand new sachs clutch in Pedro and I push the pedal, confused as to if I forgot something. Lol. I probably should have gotten a spec, but I've had really bad luck with their clutches on other cars, so I'm a bit jaded. They seem to have the Festiva clutch nailed down pretty good, but can't make a BMW clutch to save their lives. Interesting business strategy. Haha

    Not today, but yesterday gave Blanca a ride home on a rollback. My daughter backed over a tree stump that was low enough to miss the bumper and gas tank, but not the beam. She couldn't have hit it more dead center. Bent it about an inch and really adjusted the "toe out" on the rear wheels. Hopefully the beam I salvaged from my JY car will fix it. We'll see!
