I'll take pics of everything before I do anything else, so I have "before & after" pics.
I ws wondering how much you paid?

Default Really nice job Johnny

It does my heart good to see the respect (not to mention the work of love) you put into this C4.

My '84 developed one of the same problems - the right door handle lifts up but nothing happens.
What did you find with it? Sounds like the clip fell off?

Where did you find most of your parts, if you don't mind sharing?

Did you do the atari dash yourself? I got my temp part working but no luck with the oil pressure. The crossfire is gone and someone installed a carb (no biggie) so the rest of the dash doesn't concern me.

Great job!

The rod came off. Was laying at bottom, Inside of door.

Where did you find most of your parts, if you don't mind sharing?

Mostly, right here, in the "C4 Parts Section". Some at Autozone.

Did you do the atari dash yourself?
Great job!
Yes, but I really don't know what I'm doing with electronics.
I followed the guide on a great website;
