What have you done to your Festiva today!?

That's cool I'm a Spidey fan too. It's time to go look at all the birthday cake toppers. Maybe there is a different Action pose where he is climbing and I can glue him on my dipstick upside down

I wish I had thought of that! I broke it years ago and was checking my oil, got the idea, texted my wife to find me spidey and what it was for, and she found this diecast figure. I coated it with a few coats of ceramic engine high heat paint and sent it.

Changed my 900th front control arm!!! Okay maybe not that many but 5 festy's IDK how many years now so a bunch. I have it down to an art now. My advice is buy Summit Proform socket adapters 67575, https://www.summitracing.com/parts/p...SABEgKqU_D_BwE Mine are craftsman but I don't think them any more. Have a tube of super glue, new control arm hardware and a 4inch grinder with cutoff wheels in the stand by. 1/2 of the ones I have done the captive nut breaks loose so you can't loosen the control arm bolt.Take the 4inch grinder and cutoff wheel cut the head off the bolt drive the bolt and captive nut into the hollow behind it. Use your new hardware glue the new nut to your finger with superglue that will let you get it started and the socket adapters will let you hold a socket on the nut with a combi wrench to finish it no frame surgery necessary. How many different racks do festy's have ended up with the wrong tierods for todays project?Did I do that link right?

Changed the oil and Drained the Trans Fluid in the Mud Car to get ready for putting a new clutch in it.

Only reason I don't wanna change the glass, this things got character!

(you can see my third brakelight "mod" in this pic too haha)

[greywolf200]

The amount of stickers in the rear window and lack of rear defroster tend to hurt my rear visibility more than the third brake light, I'd love to add a rear wiper at least, rear defrost would mean changing the glass though

I've got a couple of wiper/defroster hatches.

Phone Scholz's in Capac and ask them how much they charge for a windshield. Then ask how much for the rear glass.
Don't mention the words Festiva, hatch or defrost, no matter how much they try to pull it out of you.
Only tell them it's definitely not a Corvette.
Record the date, time and who you were speaking to if it's a reasonable price.

It would have been easier to remove the third brake light and put a rubber plug in the hole.
Better rear view.
Have you heard of the Escort wiper mod?

Rebuilt my shattered third brake light with a bit of duct tape and a some zip ties, not the cleanest fix but it cost me all of zero dollars and looks miles better than the shattered wreck that was dangling from the hatch

Topped off the fluids and added some motor honey to help with the cold start smokescreen

Yesterday I roadtripped the 91 GL 5 speed from Chicago to Upstate NY, 600 or so miles. Didn't have time to throw a timing light on it before the trip, so I guessed at a distributor position and apparently got it pretty close! Averaged 42mpg over the trip, though it threw oil the whole way because I haven't had a chance to do the cam seals yet.

Replaced the Fuel Pump/Sock and Filter yesterday on my Mud Car.


It still wouldn't run afterwards unless sprayed with Starting Fluid so I had to do some digging and found that the injectors were not spraying at all so I took them all out filled them with Carb Cleaner and put 12 volts to them and they still werent working so I took the cap off of one and tapped the needle against my vice with a little force and fluid finally came out so I did that to all of them and then ran carb cleaner through them will turning them on an off. Reinstalled the Fuel rail and she fired right up and idled! I can here a vacuum leak though so I will have to find out were that is coming from as well as the brake fluid bubbling after I turned the car off so the booster is going to have to go as well...
