Default Just picked up another one

...Haven't been on here much since I sold my Nassau c5 to take care of some family issues. Loved that car.

Wife turned me on to a friend of hers who had a C4 for sale. Car needs alot of TLC but it's nothing I can't handle. It's an aqua blue '95, clean title, 125k miles, auto.

Spent the weekend driving down to FL to pick it up. It hadn't run in a year or so, sitting under a tree. Found out the vats chip in the key was bad. Fired her up, replaced the alternator and battery, aired the tires and drove her home.

Im sure I'll be on here asking plenty of questions about dash electrical issues, haha!

I'll post some up today after I get the chance to wash off some of that crud.

Yeah I put in quite a few years before being practically forced into the reserves a couple of years ago. Regardless, I have no regrets and would do it again...thanks guys.

I still think that is one of the nicest shades of blue on a car ever. Give her the love she deserves and get her looking right!

I plan on it. Once I get this class 8 ujoint done, I plan on starting with an ignition tune-up today and tearing down the column to fix a broken turn signal.

American racing. They were on it when I got it. He didn't have the stockers. They look good, no rash or anything, but not quite my thing on a late model car. A few years ago I had a set of stock wheels but I unloaded them. I have a set of zr1's but they are on my Z.

Didn't get to the tune-up today. Did get it a new plate though. I'm still under $2000 on it, including the parts needed to get her running and the trip to pick it up. Doing good so far. I'm going to order some parts tonight and look into why my DIC controls don't work. Also, the mount in the column for the turn signal switch broke off.
