Default From C3 To C4!

Well i'm movin' on up! i just traded my '76 for my new '94 ragtop, although i love the look of the c3, the c4 is just a better fit me. being over 6ft and 250, the c3 is to small and cramped on the inside. the 94 is a little hard getting into,but once in its just right for me. i've always like the 91 thru 96 c4 and the white over red is just the color combo i was lookin for. been a member here on the forum since last summer and looking foward to being in the c 4 forum now!! heres a few pics i shot with my phone,

Welcome to the C4 side of things...NICE looking car with a great color combo How many miles on it? Looks very clean and well cared for. And you're right about the C4 "fit"...I'm 6'3" and 275 so once I fall into place all's good...until I need to haul my a$$ out of it. Word of advice...DON'T use the steering wheel as leverage as I've heard some not so good things about fixing a loose steering column. Post up some pics of the engine bay when you can...we're suckers for pics here

Welcome! That's a nice looking '94 you've got there. You'll definitely see and feel a performance upgrade over your '76, with that said, do you have any pics of the '76 you care to share?
