ok, so i guess i don't know what I'm looking at; is the engine mount bent or?
Also, did you consider just chopping the top off and making it a convertible, or was there too much structural damage?

If you look in the middle of the picture, there's a triangular bracket coming of the engine. That's the compressor idler. Farther down you can see the compressor. Not much of a point behind the picture...just showing that it had A/C

And yah, I thought about that, but the way the sides are sort of rippled and nothing lines up....I wouldn't trust it.
That second pic makes me want to turn it into a mud-track racer!

Plus I couldn't get the engine to turn over. sucks, I wanted to play around. something shorted and killed the battery too....

I might interested in the A/C system.

**FB71** · 09-20-2008, 03:11 PM

I still want the wheels (I know I'm second in line), and I'd like the cluster, if no one else has dibs.

**joebreck117** · 09-20-2008, 03:15 PM

whew just took out the cluster, too.

when you say A/C system, what all needs to come out?
compressor.......idler pulley/mount....the control panel with A/C button (orange)
condensor, evap, dryer....hoses duh.....
i pretty sure the rest is already in a non-A/C festy, right?

oh and the turn signal switch has orange letters in good shape. pictures soon.

I thought it was going to be longer till you tore this apart, yeah it looked like a really clean festiva, very sad. Let me know about the struts, springs, and mounts when you get them out. :-)

Let me know what you want for the rear wiper assembly and the front signals/hazard lights. I hate this for you Joe, it was a great looking car.

**freshtiva** · 09-20-2008, 06:56 PM

How did you get your rear wiper arm to be in the down position like that ? Still interested in the clear frt bumper lenses.

**joebreck117** · 09-20-2008, 09:02 PM

Not sure why the rear wiper does that, someone else had asked about it before, but it would automatically stop in that position when I used it. Sometimes it would stop wherever it wanted...
I took all the guts for the wiper (motor, wiper arm, squirt bottle) but there's one plastic piece that broke. I guess that's a discount...

Bigwheel, someone already has their eyes on my clear turn signals, but I've still got the original orange signals and the corner lights.

As for struts, springs, mounts...like I said I won't be getting there for a while because wheels and suspension will be nearly last to be taken off.

Also got off both passenger side windows...somehow they didn't break.

Tomorrow I'll be heading back to Baton Rouge, and I'll list everything I've got with me at a later time.

I've read escort wagon motors bolt up & stop in the down position!

I'm sure my dad got it off another Festy.
The only parts on there from another type of vehicle were the clear turn signals...

Here is an article on how and what to remove from the A/C system. http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/showthread.php?t=429

^^?

**25Horseplay** · 09-20-2008, 10:51 PM

Fixed.............LOL What I really need is only the compressor, but I'd be willing to buy the whole set up if you don't want to break it up.
