    Went to the self serve yard Monday.
    Here is what I picked up:

    Had a 1989 LX.
    Fuel gauge sender - works!
    Power mirror driver side (mine was broken)
    two headrests to replace my disintegrated ones
    Underseat tray (SCORE! - I had rails but no tray)
    wood panel that goes over the spare (mine was destroyed)

    Also had two 1989 Mercury Tracers
    4 13x5 4x114.3 with 45 offset and correct hub centric drilling, with 4 useable 175/70R13 tires
    escort style dome light


    I paid about $270 for all of this (most of it was the wheels/tires)

    Here is what the Festiva looks like with tracer alloys:

    These Tracers have amazingly nice interiors, I may try to find one with a gray int and do a seat swap. Also I am wondering how much of the front suspension swaps over, it looked pretty similar to the festiva.

    Here is what else desirable is left on the Festiva in case someone wants to drive to north denver, or would want to do a finders fee type thing for me to remove/ship (wont ship the hatch, too big):
    Orange Tach cluster
    Pass side power mirror
    Intermittent wiper switch, tilt steering column
    rear hatch with wiper and defrost (had a key still, but no clue if it will still be there)
    stock 12 inch steel wheels with matching nankang tires (maybe 1/2 tread left)
    non automatic seat belts
    Oldest Festiva on the forum (so far) 3/87 LX - 225k
    89 Tracer 13" alloys and dome light. Pioneer stereo, all else is stock.

    Wheels look great man! Nice score! I've been trying to sell a power festiva mirror for months. Sure wish you woulda bought mine though!

    If I were you I'd at least grab the tach cluster. You can make a little bit of money on those.

      Well the mirror was kind of a "well I'm already here" type of thing, I really went for the fuel sender and dome light, the rest was just incidental/impulse buy.

      I might go back Sunday for the gauge cluster, and a halfshaft. I already have a tach cluster so I didnt need it, but if that is something that sells pretty easily I may take the time for it. Also might grab the thermostat housing. Trying to figure out why this one ended up there, it was not from collision, so I am assuming something went bang under the hood. The Tracer I grabbed the wheels off of was clobbered hard in the front, had 325k miles on it, was pretty nice shape, and obviously was still running until it was destroyed. Gotta love small Mazdas.

        Also got an undamaged cargo area cover out of it. I will prob sell mine if there is any market for them, as the one I grabbed is in better shape.

          The Festiva Cargo covers if in good shape are pretty sought after. I sold one locally for $30.

          The tach clusters usually cost 15-25 at the yard and depending on condition/mileage can sell for 50-100 bucks. I've sold two clusters (white) for $75. So they are pretty easy profit.

                  If it was a mtx, it would have a carb and it probably had the FUEL LINE collapse issue! Gave it up when it couldnt be figured out!

                        That would be a shame, this one was very nice and unmolested.
