Default Ealry C4 project-Codename Shrek

This is where it started:

https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...roduction.html

OK, Now it is mine, barring disaster. It is a delicious example of the breed, that has done one too many all-nighters. Plan is to NOT HURRY. I will start finding needed parts, and it will get a mechanical re-comission by my mechanic over the coming winter. I intend to bring it back to stock condition, maybe with a few slight mods that would have been possible at the tims of production. I already have an alloy front lid, some thin glass, genuine RS CS buckets (not sure I'll use these) and a collection of steering wheels to choose from. I intend to keep 16" wheels on it, as it will make not a difference with the intended use. If I can find a set of forged wheels off a 928 S4 or GT, I will fit them. I'll also find a radio with CD and Ipod or MP3 function, as the original is gone, and I want simple and discrete.

Now I'll look into registering here, and start pleading, sobbing and begging for advice, insight and parts for it.


Again, jealousy is futile, I will not part with it.

Nice find! Good luck with bringing her back to life!

The more I look at these cars with the D90s, the more I'm tempted to go back to them instead of the Cup1's I have!

For what it's worth your interior is WAY nicer than my 94!
Sometimes I'm just amazed how some folks can trash an interior!!!
Good luck with the effort!

Very sweet find and far nicer inside then expected based on the previous tread.
Good luck bringing the legend back on the road !!

I like this project. We are going to need a lot of updates. Already your interior is very nice.

There will be updates for sure, but not too frequent. The plan is to have it brought back mechanically over the winter, then put it on the road, after which I will do the cosmetics. I don't mind the ratty looks as long as the car is functional.
I'll be needing parts, the most immediate being a rear bumper, and 2 sharkfins. So if anyone has these on the shelves, let me kow and I'll be glad to purchase them. In the meantime, here are a few more pics. The driver seat has been repaired, and for a patch job, it is rather well done.

George - That looks like a big project. I hope it turns out for you. Please keep us updated periodically. I resurrected a car that had been parked for 15 years. It took a while to go through each subsystem (brakes, fuel, suspension, etc). The good news is that it can be done and its very rewarding. The bad news is it can be a lot of work.
