    I didn't mess around! I have sold quite a few parts.
    headlights, marker lights, visors, hatch gasket, dome light, lock trim, trans mounts, trans, air tube (DOH! lol!) deals pending on mirrors, and speaker plastics. still have the pesky valuable disty the radiator, compressor, condenser, wiper motor and linkage, fenders, and seat belts.

    Keeping the brake swap, struts, master cylinder. That's going onto cream puff.
    I have almost 30 hours including drive time in this part out.

    Loading out of the garage and onto the trailer was FUN!!!!
    I dragged it out with dad's truck. Then I pulled it onto it's roof with the truck. Then I winched it onto the trailer. I had to inch it forward until the winch gave out, then wiggle it, then inch it, wiggle. Did that about 30 times. It took about an hour to get it out, flipped, and loaded. Headed to recycle it in the a.m. Hope to make about $180 recycling with the 20 grocery bags of cans I have.

        Yes, and I still have the sway bar. So I guess the bushings will be going on the festy with the bar.

          Can aspire seat belts work in a festiva? (I understand you need 1989 interior to complete the plastic)

          It's a MazdaFordnKia thing, and you will understand!

              Don't know. These are in such good shape I figured I would look into it.

                Lol! I figured somebody would say something about that. My doctor said 4 months after my elbow surgery before flipping over cars. I showed him that video before surgery! :lol: he got a big kick out of it. 8) It has been just over 3 months since the surgery. I feel REALLY good. I did spin the car around 180* by myself while it was on it's roof. It was fun!
