    I routed the remote mirror remote cable and installed door panel, also found a signal flasher that wasn't so hyper and fitted fresh blades to the wipers... A buddy came over and laid out the GT stripes, didn't have time to install them we'll do that in the next few days...

    I replaced my brake light switch. I pulled the driver seat to have a little room to work... So now all my lights and turn signals work again...

    I took the car out on the interstate for the first time with the new engine and t5 trans, 80 mph in 5th gear I turn 2000 rpm... With the c4 it was around 3300 rpm...

    Put in a new ignition coil, fixed a few small wiring issues, installed two new fan belts and TRIED to remount the big front bumper. However, that was a complete failure. Someone please tell me where I'm going to find a small front bumper and bracket for mounting?

    I have a fairly good condition big front bumper and many other parts to get rid of. Where do I post stuff like that? I'm new to the club.

    Cool, just found that area. Thanks! Do you ship parts? I have two fiberglass front fenders I'm not going to use and someone in Sacramento wanted to buy, but I can't seem to find affordable shipping.

    I do but I shop around to find the best rates on shipping, you might try Greyhound if there is one close to you AND your buyer.

    After a long delay in trying fixing my original C4 Transmission full of nonstock parts, I refurbished the heater box today! Way too simple, why can't it be this easy in today's cars. Don't get the cheap fan motor, it is vented to the engine bay and will not last long.

    Just got some sheet aluminum to build my rear trunk floor and build my fuel cell box. Will be working on it this weekend if I don't have to work.
