New Project!
Said I wouldn't do it but I couldn't help it, bought another project. My friend started it and lost interest. The frame is for the most complete. The car is an 80 and came with all the parts. I have the body off to complete replacement of the fuel lines and install the gas tank. The car has a new front clip and new nose and tail assembly s. I have the engine and transmission ready, just want to get the frame and firewall work completed. Wish me luck, I think its an addiction! Just what I needed, another C3!

Looks good. I hope you got all the bolts and miscelaneous parts!
Keep us posted on the progress. I love watching other people's projects. It gives me encouragement to finish mine.

Man you're a glutton for punishment!! I had to sell my '80 when I recently bought a ''72. I didn't want to but I only have a two car garage and the money from it is getting me going on the other car. I'd probably have a warehouse full of these things if I could afford it!!

Storage
I am beginning to have a storage problem also, but restoring one of these and taking it to cruise ins and local shows is better therapy than anything I have found. I guess I am a glutton for punishment! My friends say that this is my hunting and fishing. Maybe one day when I am gone, my wife and daughter can sell them and throw the money away on something that they enjoy!
