Good evening!
My name is Dave and I recently fell into my dream: owning a Black, 1987 C4. 'Her' name is Lola; she handles like a dream but she's got quite a deep rumble.
I have ZERO (read: none, zip, zilch, nada,) prior automotive knowledge...
My
CV:
So, I'm waaay wet behind the ears BUT I'm very excited to learn everything I can about Lola as well as all of you.
Thank you to everyone in advance for all of your help with my new forever project. (I was reading this forum right after I made the purchase and saw someone had said "There's no such thing as a 'finished' C4."
)

My
CV:- I've cleaned the carburetor, changed the oil, and swapped out a flywheel key in my lawnmower a handful of times.
- I've also changed the 'clutch' on my washer machine instead of calling 'the man'. Take that, the man!

Hi Dave - welcome to the Forum!
Although you've not done work on a car, you're at least willing to dig in and get your hands dirty with your washing machine repair and lawn mower service. That's the necessary start!
