  • I forgot to mention, when I was at the Winston-Salem PAP yesterday scoring parts, the '93 Festiva has 3 OE 13" alloys with caps. Someone score them before they're scrapped.

        Nah, I will have to do that. Luckily I have new hose clamps on there, so it would be a pain getting them off.

                  • Installed a set of Moog Aspire tie rod ends.
                    Normally $48 each. I got two for a whole lot less.

                      An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                      • Painted the car below the side trim with truck bed coating, and it looks pretty damn good if I do say so myself.
                        Also painted the rear bumper glossy black because the old bumper specific matte paint peeled off in allot of places.

                        Pics to come after I paint the front bumper. Also learned not to paint big things in the cold, the paint will run like a mofo, luckily the runs are not to bad, was mostly able to hide them with another coat over top.

                        I Also ruined my jacket, and possibly a pair of pants. I didn't realize how messy that truck bed coating is. Also I am going to be showing up to thanksgiving dinner with allot of it on my hands because I can't get it out.

                        • Wear the gloves you were supposed to wear for painting, to Thanksgiving dinner. That way they won't see your hands. Buy a mechanic's worksuit on eBay like me.

                            Did you roll it on? Or spray?
                            Nastiness is expected with any paint type product.

                                Haha. No bashing intended. I was asking because I've seen the roll on last a good bit longer than the spray. Unless its done professionally
