new guy, from C4 to C3
Hello everyone,
I just took delivery on my new toy, 1970 red BB vert (Yah!) She is really sweet. I will miss my C4 that I sold a week ago, but this is what I have always wanted. My old user name was JDF.
I will be visiting the forum often asking all you quenstions that you have probably answered a 100 time allready so a big thank you in advance. I am really looking forward into discovering the in's and out's of C3's (again, I had a '78 a long time ago so this is not all that new to me).
I will be enjoying driving it now, but it won't be long before I will want to do something to it. Starting off I will check the mechanics very carfully, change fluids, etc, but before long I think I want tilt/tel, hooker side exhaust, updated hiden stereo, and torq thrust D wheels/GFgoodrich tires. It looks very original, NOM, and I want to keep it that way for the most part anyway. Any initial advise is welcome.

Re: new guy, from C4 to C3 (70vert)
Welcome!
you MUST post some pictures:)
You'll really enjoy driving it. It may not handle like the C4 or be as comfortable, but you'll enjoy the feeling of driving a classic. Be prepared to make some new freinds every time you get gas;) People love to chat while you are filling up.
