I love the throttle response of TPI.

very nice, now you just need a set of 17" sawblades or grandsport rims and you'll be half way to a C4! Nice looking C3

Looks cool, but what is the beast made of? Is it a pre-76 with new clips, or did you hack a later C3 to make a vert? Some other combo I haven't thought of??

Its an 81 with a conversion kit which consisted of the correct decklid.

Really wasnt that bad. The bodyshop that did the work put 125% into it.

I really appreciate all the nice comments...!!!

Here is the car alitttle over a year ago. The car sat like this for about 8-10 years before i started back on it.

love it. especially like the room between the dist and firewall, extra gas can come in handy on those long evening drives with the top down. best of both worlds, truly.
