JY visit.....

Such a shame on those seats. Looks like they were in great shape before the elements got to them.

Is that a tilt steering column I see?

Someone may want that full console too.

I got the console. It was easy to remove. All the metal underneath was rusted away and it came right out.

Yes that is a tilt steering column. I'm having the JY guy remove that for me if it's not rusted away.

Here is a pic of the blue 88L Festy in the JY. Poor guy.

Thr most difficult bolt to reach is the single bolt holting the yoke to the steering rack. Be careful not to skin your knuckles removing the combo switch connectors.
I believe the steering column is held in place by four bolts on the inside firewall + two under the column support.

Oh I know what I need!

Are any of the exhaust downpipes still is good shape? I could really use one. If not I guess I will have to front $100 for a new one.

Visited the JY again this morning Here are some more pictures I think some people are wanting to see:
I didn't get a picture yet of the black Festy. I ran out of time and had to go.




Pictures inside the LX





I took the cluster out but I'm not sure if it's any good or not .....
...... Leaving for work now............

does the downpipe on festivas match the one on aspires? I have a mean crack in mine.

[redspire]

Mule also, what color was the aspire in the yard?

He's not sure, I think he has a few in there. Mike will ask him when he goes back out there tomorrow.

He's seen a bunch of old Escorts, Geos, and Chevettes.

Well, this is probably my last visit to this JY for awhile. I got a lot of good stuff though. This morning I got 2 more smoothies on a Festiva I thought was a 1990 or newer. It was the black automatic one. Here is a few pics of it. Also here are a few pics of 2 Aspires that were in there .......
This is the Festy I got the down pipe for TorqueEffect.


The 2 Aspires, not much on them.

Dang, and an Auto pipe won't work for me.

Sorry I should have learned this info for having you get one.

Its way more cost efficient to take the car to a muffler shop capable of running a whole new exhaust in a slightly larger diameter for 2-300$ than it is to order oem replacements pipes to make it all seem like stock. I dont understand why your having all the downpipe issues lol, bring it over with some cash for pipes and we'll make it work.
