New project
After selling the wifey's 82 collector last fall at a considerable profit 
I scored a 94 C-4 that fit the bill to fill the void in the garage. The car has a bunch of miles but overall was in excellent shape, two owner (first was for 18 of the 19 years, second dumped a ton of coin into the car) Clean carfax, no accidents, original and not screwed around with. The down side was the need of new seats. Car has new tires, brakes, u joint, starter, battery, carpet.
I have ordered new seats and set about solving the various gremlins inherit in a 19 year old car. I am now waiting on the rest of my parts to show up and then put 'er back together for the Mrs. to enjoy this summer. On a side note anyone know who will strip and refinish machined wheels? The clear is flaking and I don't want them painted, just stripped, polished and re-cleared.

She really likes the upgrade from the C-3! Now she's not as mad at me for selling off the 82.
