What's your 2011 plans for your C4 ?

It seems I've developed a small leak from the radiator, so most likely replacing that. I also wanted to get the front bumper and headlight covers repainted, but that may not happen right away. We'll see what the budget allows.

Is the money you put in required to keep it running or are you just upgrading it?
I think for the most part the C4 is pretty reliable.
Last year I did the headlight bushings,throttle body bypass,new radio and speakers,new front seals in the timing cover,plugs,wires,1 oil change,belt and replaced a bad relay.
Thats about it.

As much as I've been thinking about new rims, I revisted some pics where people have painted that curved inward part of the sawblades body color. Since mine's BAM I'm not too sure how that'd look so I thought maybe going with a flat black. I might take some construction paper and cut out what I need and see what that looks like...or I could just order new rims and use the OEM's as really large cool paperweights

All new weatherstripping, including new weatherstripping on both tops.
New paint and repair the leather seats.

Nothing too major:
1) Install new 550 HP LT4 engine that's already built (needs headers)
2) Rebuild the tranny at the same time
3) Install D-44 rear
4) New top and weatherstripping
5) Repaint the car
6) New interior carpet
7) Install new double din Kenwood Nav unit
8) Reserve a room in the poorhouse.
This will be done by April 30th if I don't die first

so far in 2011 I have installed an amp for my rear speakers, removed some wires that the previous owner had all over the car for unknown reasons, fixed some wiring issues with the stereo and am in the process of installing a trans temp gauge and an a/c bypass pulley.
