Thank you everyone! I'll keep everyone posted when I get spare time to work on the project. Seems like all my weekends are busy running around doing something else.
Right now im working on polishing the suspension parts im selling. The more parts I sell the more parts I can put back into the project!

Minor suggestion....It seems the market is picking up for factory stock C4 components. As such, I'd just clean things up vs polishing, etc. Stock components typically sell faster (broader audience) and for roughly the same amount as modified components...much like modified cars.
but I started already. They had some marks on them so I wanted to smooth them out. But the rest of the stuff I'm just going to clean then sell!

Looking at the dismembered back end....
has anyone EVER done a mid-engine C4 project?
Trans-axles are available, V-drives...theres a bunch of space back there.. It would certainly be a costly experiment but an interesting one..The mid-engine Corvette fantasy has been around forever.

Maybe a rear engine? Like the Corvair.
Or shorten the front end and stretch the cabin.
Maybe that's why no one has attempted a mid engine C4.

But in the end it would be a fierette (fiero+vette... not very good but there's nothing really to work with lol)
But it would have an actual frame instead of a cradle and im sure it would handle like a very solid bus...
Sweet tear down. Excited for updates
