OOPS! New C4 Owner
Well, I'm Wes.Had a truck for sale or possible trade . Had no bites on it. It was a 98 quad cab dodge 112k . Needed a little paint . guy shows up with a 85 z51 package . been turn'in wrenches since . I do see light at the end of the tunnel.
Leaks like sive . wipers act pretty funky .fog lights don't work . Wires off the spark module were twisted together and taped .Paint and body are pretty good. . Glass targa top is cracked . Destibutor wasn't even secured . Got it running and went for a test run . Torque like a truck!! Two turns lock to lock . Feels like a giant go cart! Its loud. Really loud! Set off 3 car alarms at safeway .
my first Vette was a 66' wih a big block in 1976 while I was at Ft Benning . Now I'm 57n Disabled from aback injury but I'm having Fun with this thing!!
