What bugs you about your C3?
The only thing about my 78 I don’t like is I find myself always looking over the hood. You know, the nose is a little too high. :rolleyes: But! Its all original and I have to deal with it.. Raise the rear a little? Hummmmm.. What bugs you???? :eek:

The thing that bugs me the most right now is the fact that it is setting in the garage gathering dust. I am ready to drive the fool out of it.

What bugs me is I can't spend enough money all at once to make it perfect.
I fix things as I can and by the time I finish that last detail I know the first thing that I fixed is going to break from age and wear. :yesnod:

Re: What bugs you about your C3? (SLICKMAN)
1. I don't drive it enough.
2. Cabin heat.
3. I always find something to fix or spend money on.
4. Getting offers and remembering I'm married!
5. No-one has flashed me yet. :(
6. ...start back at No 4.

Re: What bugs you about your C3? (SLICKMAN)
Have to agree with the cabin heat.
I don't care about the lack of speed.
I just love to cruise in it.
I also have a electrical troll living in my vette.
Fix one thing and then something else does not work.
Right now my dash lights do not work! :cuss

Re: What bugs you about your C3? (SLICKMAN)
What bugs me the most is the poor fit of the front fenders to doors. this gap is really poor. Now the front pumper is starting to split. If it was fall I would replace the bumper but not in the middle of the summer. I often think about building up the leading edge of the doors and make the gap correct.
