Drug something home...

97 Aspire! I think one tire is worth what I paid for it. Has PS, AC, ABS, rear defroster, int wipers, sport interior, automatic and a awesome JVC cd player! Actually I think the JVC stereo is worth what I paid for it. Needs some work and a good cleaning. It's nothing compared to the Festiva when I got it. I think it's the exhaust manifold. The guy said his boy drove it a week ago from Lee Summit. This will be the wife's ride primarily.

Sweet!

Cool! Is the fender the only thing wrong with the exterior? Those wheels look good on there!

Unfortunately no. The bumper cover is wrong one but it's tore off on the drivers side. There's little a bit of rust on the driver's side. I'll take more pic's tomorrow in the light. The tire on the driver front is a regular Aspire rim.. I have the other rim but it needs a new tire. The core support/sway bar might be bent but I need to look into that further.

Nice score Eric!!!!

Did you ever change the valve seals in your Festy?

I haven't yet not sure it needs it. I don't think it's smoked since I got that hose replaced. When I get this one running I'll look at it further.

Huh this is quite a coincidence... the Festiva is 90 with 144k the Aspire is a 97 with 125k and the Escape is 04 with 107k. Couldn't of planned that better if I tried!

Nice score! You know if you wanted an SE spoiler for it, you could always buy mine

You have the same amount of snow as we have up in Toronto. I like Aspires. Remember, gas is going way up this summer.

It'll be a while before I do anything like that.. a spoiler would be nice though!

Well we should you darn Canadians keep sending it down here :laughing5: .. that's the main reason I wanted to get something else in place of the Escape for the most part. I figure it should get about the same as the Festiva.

Why they put 186/70/13's is beyond me. Going with 175/70 when those wear out.

Yup found the problem... have another aspire manifold down on the farm.



Not sure how I should worry about this:



The alignment is off but should be able straighten that up. The oil pan is also dented but shouldn't hurt it I have another oil pan down there also.
