      • just don't get the cheap ones from ebay with "lifetime warranty" stamped on the image.

        I would go with rockauto like said above. excellent site! probably grab some poly bushings for the sway bar or shifter bushings, etc since they're cheaper and shipping would be sort of inclusive with the radiator.

            Currently taking a break waiting for more hands to help get it to line up with the transmission shaft...

              • Finally finished up the B3 for B3 engine swap! Set the timing and soldered a few connections for the TPS, checked fluid levels and went out for a drive.

                I took it on the freeway too!

                Now for the rest of the little things that need attention. First up - Windshield wipers. The driver's side is broken inside the cowl

                      Good goin! As for the wipers, I'm going to guess it's the same problem I had and the metal is broken. For a cheap, simple fix:


                      As for my Festiva. I pulled the ATX tranny off the B3. Yesterday. Yay me. 15 minutes of Festiva wrenching! haha
