The Good

New Interior

New Wiring harness

New rack & pinion, ball joints ect

New steering box

All new brakes

Congrats on your C3 and welcome aboard. Our C3 came with a detailed electrical diagram, but I don’t know from where the previous owner got it.
i just found out. It came from ClassicCarWiring.Com.

This is a two sided laminated chart for a 1972. I’m sure yours would be different perhaps for your ‘75. Good luck!
