Reason: info
Seeing as it needs paint you can put the factory 78 rear bumper cover back on it and add a pace car rear spoiler - definitely amongst the finest looking C3's
when that time comes proablly will due that but wont be for a long time, going to leave it how it is and just make it into a cruiser for now. I have alot of 78 to 82 parts that i was selling off as i was planning on 77 and down cars but now kicking myself that i sold my 80s black seats that were mint a few months ago. everything seems good today so far changed all fluids except radiator and rear end. pumped out old gas and cleaned carburetor runs better but def need plugs and wires. I'm trying to stay under 3000 total into the car until i sell my fiero then will go from there. one thing that will go on it will be wheels and tires to 80 aluminum wheels since i like the polished look vs black centers plus i believe the 80 to 82 aluminum wheels were a little lighter then aluminum wheels on older cars.
parts starting to come in fixed hood cable today , waiting on coolant temp sensor, temp sending connector, spark plugs and wires. found another issue filled up radaitor and leaking in middle of it so now ordering a new one. looked under rear for codes ko = 3.08 gears
1978 one owner
