New C3 Owner
Hey folks,
Picked up a 1980 in March, and have begun the process of figuring everything out, and fixing all that was worn out or neglected. So far so good in working through most things, but pending what I do today, I may have to pick your brains.
Anyways, I've loved these cars since I was a kid, and I'm grateful to finally own one and I love having something new to tinker with and learn from.
Thanks in advance for any advice offered. I'll be around!
