One more question: is there anything I can do about the divot in the hood or should I just live with it?

i just got some 3M Structural Adhesive to bond the studs and cracked glass on the underdash heater core housing on my 67 Coupe.

I can easily try it out on sone glass in the shop today if you're interested.

Probably the least expensive, supposed to bond good. And you'll have the tubes to use with other things. $17

What do folks think? Has anybody seen this before? Is there some kind of adjustment I could make?

Beside the suggestion/option to raise the bumper/foot, the front bumper basically attaches/aligns thru it's connection to the front wheel well. If you loosen the screws in the front portion of the wheel well, you might be able to get some outboard movement of the bumper. You could even resort to elongating the wheel-well holes just a smidge to get more -- if necessary.

Since the bumper is urethane (and pliable), you can pull it out more at the top than the bottom if you like/need.

Seems like there's also an L-bracket or two involved. Sorry, but it's been about 8yrs since I swapped out my front bumper (to get the late style bumpers).

Second pic, there's an adjustable rubber bumper (right above the coolant tank in the pic).
First, does the rubber show contact with the hood? And is the place on the hood shiny from contact.

I'd loosen the lock nut and move it up one turn. Gently close the hood then, recheck.
You can also check the gap between the hood & bumper, then adj. the bumper, recheck,etc.

Fires aren't fun though. He sure drove a long way lookin' for the fire crew. I saw a flame in the cockpit once and had the car off the track and stopped in 10 seconds. Screw the car, I'm outa here.

And how much non-ethanol 93 octane would cost in 300 years.

Yep, mine's a 92. But I've also been cross country twice in my C2 and loved every minute of it.

If it's totally gone, then pull the cover off of the door sill to the left of your seat. There's a pin in there and the E-clips tend to come off of it. This could let the pin release from the ratcheting mechanism. You should be able to see it at least without pulling the seat out.

Do you have a factory service manual or Haynes? pull rear rotor and check for E=brakes out of adjustment/clean/lube cable unit with penetrating oil/keep lube off shoes. Put rotor on before testing EB.

Be VERY careful when you put this all back together. LT1's must have some oil leak somewhere or they explode. If you fix all the leaks your car won't know what to do and panic will ensue...

I'm picking up where I left off yesterday before I got the phone call. Motivation factor is low. What's the best sight for finding deals on vacation packages? I'm looking at a 12 day Mediterranean cruise in December. So far I've checked out Vacations To Go (high) and Online Vacation Center (moderate). If you have any good leads for me, I'm all ears.
Right now it looks like about $5k. Hey ..... I could buy another C4 for that ......

Whoa..... slow down, this is doable.

You will need to open up the cluster and remove the rear circuit board to get to the LCD panes. The rear board is tricky as it's held in by a row of pins to the front board which can be very difficult to pull lose. Unscrew it and then try wriggling that rear board loose from those pins...

When you get that board off, the front board comes off next. Now, there's some pink/orangish rubbery strips in there that are surrounded with plastic retainers, these make contact with the LCD panes which are simply clamped against them when the front board is screwed in.

I would try removing the pane in question and gently clean the edges where these strips contacts it. It may be stuck to the pane, but don't worry, it's not glued on or anything, and if you carefully loosen it it won't hurt anything. If you actually touch the contact points on the strips, you'll notice parts of the lcd panes light up! Ok, probably not a good idea to screw with that too much.

Anyhow, upon assembly, double and triple check that you get the panels in correctly, it's tricky to get them seated flush and get all the rubber spacers in properly.

Yea, I am... its one component of a C4 I won't touch.

Since you want to keep the car perfect, you can waste a lot of time jerking around with patches and fixes... just unass the cash once and be done with it.
