            The front half of the goods....

            The engine and trans are ready to come out.
            And this is one of my favorite things about parting out a car!!!

              Make sure to grab the brake master cylinder when doing the brake swap, many might say otherwise, but my experience shows that it makes a huge difference.

                    Pulled the engine/trans, rear brake set up/struts/axle beam, rear seat, gas tank, interior plastics, etc etc





                    I plan to install the brake set up tomorrow and do my James Bond trailer hitch. Details to follow.

                      mmmm, pretty blue plug wires. Those are what I like. And you sure didn't waste a moment of harvest time on that one.

                        You know what it is? I'm at my dad's house/garage. He loans me his truck and trailer, he lets me use his garage/tools. I have 2 festivas in his yard. He neighborhood isn't a "cars in your yard" kind of place.

                        So I REALLY want to get it out of there. Out of respect and gratitude. My mom is watching my girls and feeding all of us. I eat there probably 5 times a week. My girls eat there 5 - 10 times a week. My folks are so selfless. So I really want to get it out fast and to the recyclers.The BP car is in the yard. And so is the Aqua and black car. he BP will be running VERY soon. And the aqua car needs to be finished and sold. Trying to hustle.

                            You should put the festiva brakes, shocks, rotors, and swaybar on the aspire and sell it for the same price you paid for it.

                              That's sounds dirty and unsafe to me. Plus I'm making money parting it. Plus I can fix and sell a future festy using the festy parts.
