Well, my boss, several co-workers and the boss's son came out and for probably 30 minutes I didn't get anything done. Showed them the 24 pack of beer sized engine, ect, plus part of that time was getting the 10mm line wrench.Originally posted by kartracer46 View PostNot bad for your first time.
I swapped front mounts, the control arm bolts are too hard to take out because of the pinch weld seam.1963 Fairlane - future NSS drag car

Did the wheel stud & lugnut upgrade. Used closed end chrome acorn lugnuts. Pics when I paint wheels. Installed 1 (pass. side) vent visor. Used 3M double sided tape. Hope it holds!
If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

I replaced the front brake pads. Pretty mundane, but the car doesn't squeal like a pig anymore and actually STOPS now! What a concept!1993 Festiva L - "Thor"

Thanks kartracer46 and christ! Ive been working on my mazda 121 for some time now, bit by bit, here and there but don't think it quite deserves its own thread just yet.
Being one of the newbies here I gotta say im imressed with a lot of the work I've seen done to other members rides, and how much everyone loves their festys!
Anyway, today I went shopping for some new material to re-upholster my sparcos, (with big ups to my mum for the sewing!) and bought some plastic sheeting for my budget, disposable paint both
