It has been a busy summer. I've completed a couple things on the car and it's running pretty well. The Struts I mounted last fall are already shot, so I'll need to look for a different solution. I got them from Rock Auto, and they only have a 30 day warranty, so money wasted. I imagine the seals on NOS just don't last. I've got a line on some out of Europe, and since the fiesta is very popular over there, I imagine they are newer and will likely operate as it should.
I completed the cooling system, although that turned out to be a very expensive project. Seems the days of $100 radiators are gone. So instead I had my brass radiator re-cored. It's like new now, and even though the cost was more than I expected, the guys at Orr Radiator in KC did a great job on it.  |
After a whole lot of grinding and painting on the shroud. I had every dog in the neighborhood barking as I was grinding away at the rust.
I lucked out and the warning sticker peeled off after 30 years, and I was able to stick it right back on.
