Hello from the new owner of a 1996 Coupe in St. Louis, MO
Hi, my name is Dan and I just bought a very nice low mile C4 that my wife and I are itching to cruise in as soon as the weather straightens out. It is 100% factory stock except for window tinting - it's first 19 years were spent in Florida. I just got done rebuilding the LCD display in the instrument cluster thanks to you folks pointing me in the right direction (www.batee.com). It looks perfect now! The glass top has been sent off to be rebuilt - it had actually been PAINTED to hide the surface cracks in the acrylic. The only other thing I need to do at this time is figure out why the e-brake does not hold. I'm going to try to add a picture to this post.

Welcome to the forum, Dan, and congratulations to you and your wife on your sharp '96! 
If you haven't already, you may want to check the C4 section of the forum for some possible insight into your e-brake problem.
