Hello All!

Well I just got a 87 C4 last weekend so many problems so little time and money, sure some of you know what i'm talking about. Anyways I was looking for a site where people are friendly and willing to help out a "Noob". So hopefully as time goes on I get to know some of you better. Pictures will be coming, right now I just sprayed primer 3 days ago after picking it up it was the multi-color red, white, yellow and black. it now looks like it rolled off the set of a Mad Max remake, however I did just drive it 1200 miles with no problems.

this is a pictures of what it looked like when I got it. And by the way when I got it lights, blinkers, windows, brake lights, winshield wipers, and numerous other things didnt work. apparently the guy I got it from bought it when th wiring was shot, paid some other guy $1500 to rewire it with new harness and all. The guy that did the wiring job got it running but didnt hook everything up, so anyways the guy I bought it from never drove it. Thats where I come in work 2 1/2 days tracing wiring with the help of my trusty electrical diagnosis service manual, compliments of GM. got everything working except the oil pressure and oil temp on the dash, what a mess and I know it is a tan wire that runs into the harness (will track it down later). The interior is shot need new door panels and seat/upholstery.

Hi I'm Matt, from Columbia. Tyler, a C4 member, also lives here. We're a tight group, and we love hanging out.

If you're ever this way, shoot me a message, and I'll make sure we all meet up for a cold beer or five.

Glad to see another Missouri C4. It looks like you have already put some time into the car. Have you decided on a final color?

Freddy4099, just want to let you know that Matt, Tyler are great guys. I met them this year at a show in Columbia. Andrew is also a friend of theirs, they are truly great guys. If you have the chance to meet up with them by all means do so. I am glad I did. Oh, by the way welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the site! Do you plan on spraying the color yourself? I'd love to see a nice thread about that

sorry been out the net for a bit. First that garage is in Utah (my dads place) second I can do the fiberglass work, but dont think I can spray the paint unless the military puts in an autocraft paint booth like they have in colorado. (thats nice) I would like to get with someone who has a C4 here in Missouri, need some wiring help and it would be nice to look under the hood, to see how the routing is.
