    It's a shame I don't wanna put money into fabing something or doing the coilover sleeves. I'd love to get hold of some festiva or aspire lowering springs. Heckhem....Bert.

    • Put a B6 manifold gasket on my B3 carby intake and discovered there's a lot of hogging to do to port match that sucker.........:-|

                        • Started work on rebuilding the junkyard hubs I got yesterday for 2$
                          Cleaning.

                          Got all the bearings out and since mine are under warranty (and I didn't drive the festiva to autozone) I got 4 new timkens and 2 new rotors for freeeeee. Yep, suck it autozone.


                          Decided to de-rust the hubs and noticed they both have the proper spacer and (for all you who doubted me are stamped the same as the ones I've been running off another festiva. So now you can suck it.) Guess I "Just got lucky" again.

                          Then decided to throw some caliper paint on the knuckles and hubs.

                              • Finished up my VW MK2 front suspension and aspire front brake swap today, it's pretty stiff up front gonna get some differnt springs. It sits really low right now too!

                                Then when I went to start it to dive it around I found out that my battery wires were all messed up and stuff so I had to get some new terminals and fix that up.

                                Tomorrow I'm going to get it aligned.
