What have you done to your Festiva today!?

Yeah, most bigger yards...especially upull it type places will just puncture the bottom of the tank in several spots.

Half a tank means less weight and better gas mileage!

Well I may have a chance to get a tank for $20 from upullandpay, but I would only trust it if they actually drained it using the drain plug and not by punching a hole in it like allot of yards do.

Well, my fuel tank is no longer holding pressure, it was leaking enough before to create moisture on the exterior of the tank, but at least the tank pressurized.

Now I have no hiss when removing the cap, and I am down almost half a tank from a full tank, and have done less than 100 miles.
No gas on ground, and no more moisture on the tank than before.

Luckily a new tank off ebay is less than $100 shipped, bad news is I don't have the money for it yet.
So from now on, I can only fill the tank halfway, or else I am just going to be wasting money.

I had the same problem with NAPA as well. Advance had Moog seals in stock........shock.

Wow thats insane! I had no such luck lol. They didnt even have castle nuts.

[bravekozak]

No deal!

Tell the dealer that parts are obsolete and that you are doing him a favor by taking it off his parking lot. How did the hood get deadjusted? Did they take the bonnet off for a reason?

[Prafeston]

Looks really nice!!

Hope, I´m in the right categorie.

In quest to get a nice and clean Pride, I drove to a car trader. I couldn't believe my eyes. What a beautiful neat car! 30k miles, automatic and all the funny electrical gimmicks. No rust*, no dents. Only a small rustspot* on the left door and a deadjusted bonnet. No problem.

But wait. Trader wanted 2300 $. My suggestion was 1500 Euro / 1900 $. No deal!

Ran around yesterday and today trying to get the proper axle seals for my car, finally gave NAPA parts numbers off rockauto so here's hoping! Did some bodywork as well without any before/after pictures. Looks good so far though lol.

So a Tracer or Escort with a intermittent wiper switch will swap over, no problem? Just the switch and stalk, not the entire assembly with the turnsignal stalk and everything.

Wish I knew that, would have picked one up.

Going to have to get one if when I go to the upullandpay next time.

I transferred the whole assembly since I was using both switches. I just had to re-route the plug next to the wiper switch over instead of under because it's positioned differently. I think I've seen write ups where people have just transferred the switch.

I got mine off an old Protege. Has variable intermittent wipe.

1996 mercury tracer at local Lkq
Will parts on these transfer to Festivas?

[sactnato]

Turn switch indicator broke so I went to pnp to pull one off the only Festy there when I spotted a 90 Tracer. Now my turn indicator is fixed and I have an intermittant wiper switch too.
