It sure looks like spring is on the way.
So now that you're driving, or soon will be driving your C3, what's on your "To Do List" for this year?
Me? 1) I have ordered an aluminum radiator and seals. That'll get done first.
2) Install the front end rebuild kit I bought last year.
3) Maybe, just maybe, have the TH350 swapped out for a 700R4.
(I just bought a core and it's at the rebuilder for now.)
That's enough outta me. What're you folks planning for your C3's?

Just this weekend I finished rebuiling my window tracks and replacing a few worn parts on the door opening controls and replaced the outside window seals. Got the new weatherstripping on the doors and put the door panels all back on. Need to install weatherstrip on deck lid and hood and that project will be all done. Next is my convertible top. Need to take the frame and have it powder coated maybe and have a new top put on. Just in case I get caught in the rain. Gettin ready for the summer.

Well, the '81 is running too good to mess with, though I do have a motor for it that I 've recently finished building, it's still subject to smog regulations and I'm sure the cam is a little too rad. to pass, so I'll have to get my courage up for that one. The green '78 has lot's of room for improvement but isn't high on my list of priorities. The wife's rootbeer '78 is getting an overdrive auto trans so I'd better get busy. We'd like to take it to Oregon in July so we can share the driving ( the '81 has a hiperf clutch and the wife hasn't got the knack of it 
). My attention has been divided between my pickup project and spring yard mantainence. Guess it's time to focus

Hoping to get the black repainted on the Pace Car and do all new decals. The back window leaks too so I want to fix that at the same time. The silver looks good but most of the black was a crappy repaint by a PO.
The Silver Ann, well I got to have something to drive.
