1987 project car
I have just purchased a 1987 coupe project car. it has some motor problems but over all it is in good shape. The previous owner's daughter let it over heat causing damage to the motor. I do not know the extent of the damage yet. This is the third C4 I have owned. The first was a ruby 93 with tan interior. The car was stolen shortly after I purchased it in 95. I replaced it with a black 94. I sold it in 97 when my soon to be wife reasoned that this car would not hold my step daughter and any kids we where going to have (twins now five). My wife is none to happy with my purchase. She thinks the money should have gone to pay off debt due to two open heart surgeries for one of the twins and her own medical issues.
I am looking for a source for free manual downloads and cheap interior parts. (I have not had a chance to diagnose motor issue and the steering wheel is in need of refurbishing or replacing.)
