New guy from Williams Az
good afternoon,
My name is Sean and I just picked up a c3, I wish I had seen this site before I bought but at least now I have a place to learn. So far I've been lucky and everything I've looked into has already been taken care of.
New calipers and rotors, the frame doesn't appear to have any or little rust, haven't checked the bird cage yet. New rear suspension including trailing arms, new exhaust system minus the smog, new carb and intake.
I have already installed a new alternator, the old one literally splint in half, ordered new inner door skins, electic window conversion, New center console,
Still needs paint but looks good at 10' so that'll wait until I get everything else the way I want it.
Well thanks for all the great information.
