You gotta love how people bullshit on this forum. If you didn't click on it and watch, then how did you know it was 45 min. long?

You still want to claim you "didn't watch"?

Ya, probably. That's what I do. That's how I judge what I watch on youtube. Randomly pick a video and open it. Immediately check to see how long it is then decide. Content doesn't matter.

I suffered through it. That is one ROUGH C4. The fuel tank looks like the black lagoon and he couldn't understand why it wouldn't run on all eight even with a new fuel filter....Guess he thought the injectors, rail and fpr were immune.

Hey, he already hinted it runs, starts, and drives better than the c7 he got did.

I thought it was great. It was nice seeing a guy go through it. Just having fun imo.

I prefer the early C4s. Good to see one saved.

I thought it was fun. It's cold, it's snowing, I thought it was fun. My Ruby wasn't much different when I got her, now I wouldn't give her up. Whole buncha work though.

I regularly watch his channel. He at least goes for the forgotten, unwanted cars and does what he can within reason to get them running and driving again. I've been waiting for a slow day so I can take the time to watch the video and he even bought another C4 to do.
