The Aspire got a starter yesterday and the Festiva gets a new muffler today. Probably pick up a thermostat for the Festiva also but won't get to that till next week.

91 rusty Festiva 260k -
today I neglected my festiva once again...
...
However, for my wife's car ('88LX auto) yesterday I bought some wheel bearings and did a little negotiating with kartracer for a rear auto trans mount. Might do the wheel bearings and put the correct wheels and tires on the back tonight after work if I feel like it. This weekend, trans wiring! And reinstalling the center console. Still debating if I want to run wiring for the "park lock solenoid", the one that makes you turn the ignition on and depress the brake pedal before pulling the shifter out of park. I probably will because I'm going to be under the dash removing the clutch switch, wiring the WOT switch to the kickdown solenoid and running wires to the shifter at least for the lights on the PRNDL display, so why not
Lol
