Ever get bamboozled?
My buddy calls me up last night,asks if I can bring my floor jack to his house so we can inspect his brakes. I say sure no problem. I get there, we pull the wheels, he says, you know, we might as well put these new pads on. Good thing we did, his rear pads were just about gone. Then he says well teh fronts could use them too. So we did them. About the hardest part was getting his wheels off, he has an '88 so we had to get those covers off, they were just about frozen on there.
So now there is one more C4 out there with good brakes.

I was reading my new Eckler's catalog today, and almost crapped my pants when I saw the pricing on those '88 center caps. $130.... EACH!
I bet there's a photo in a Haynes manual somewhere showing a guy prying them off with a screwdriver. :smash:
BTW, friend.. I need some help uhh... tightening my valve cover bolts. :lol:
