brought home a C4 today
Went to an auction at a salvage yard that was closing its doors and picked this up for $600
plan is to fix the seats and use them in my 77
then hack out the suspension/drive-line for a street rod project I have , and sell the rest as parts/scrap.
However as I'm laying on my back in an old rock quarry, now turned defunct junk yard. Trying to remove loose inner fender panels so I can put wheels and tires on a 30 year car, I know nothing about. So I can then drag it home , cut it apart and then use those parts on even /older/ cars. I wonder to myself what makes us crazy enough to do this? I mean, I actually /enjoyed/ taking the day off and siting in the dirt wrenching on junk! Is it the thrill of the hunt? the shear challenge? or have we all gone off the deep end?
just something to think about

It's funny you say that... The salvage yard un-mounted the tires off the C4 original rims, and then put the bare rims next to the car. I have the rims but no tires. So to load it I bolted on the ones that came on my C3 when I bought it... I HATED those wheels on my 77, but on this, in all of it's 1980's glory they look good!
