You guys can't keep things as is... thank you for the unwanted motivation to continue to work with the car...
Added a few items to the list and will revise for a few more that I am currently reading in a few of the threads here... Any changes really need to be those that can be done in a few hours as this is now my daily driver and can't be sitting in the garage too long...

New tires installed. Appointment made for a four wheel alignment. Rocker side sill trim to be done this coming Sunday along with some cleaning, polishing and waxing. I also need to add to the list the painting of the wheels (they need some tlc to look like new again). And probably need to add a new set of center caps as the old one look very tired and faded.

Well... so much for all the stuff I needed/wanted to do to the car. I was able to at least give it a wash and re-installed the side sill that got ripped with some road debris the other day. I thought about taking the time to also change the rubber trim on the side sills but the old one is almost like glued to the sill… it will take some good elbow grease to get it out and clean the body from the black rubber that is left behind… so not a chance to do it this weekend. Ended up just putting the rear flare sill back as it was with three new clips. Came out fine. I will tackle replacing the rubber trim at a later time.
Forgot to take before shots...
but here are the ones after re-installing the part...
The first photo shows a missing piece of the underbody cover... that got ripped by the metal piece of s* that hit the car... I need to look for that undertray cover to replace it again (this is the undertray cover that goes just before the engine undertray)...

You can almost tell where there is a small rubber trim missing (where the rear side sill touches the middle section...)
All the sills need to be repainted to repair all the rock chips from daily driving... and to repaint it back to factory spec, red and bottom in black. Seems the previous owner had it all painted red at some point (most likely at the time they did the widebody conversion).

Finally got around fixing the wheels and installing a new radio (last radio the FM/AM stopped working). Got another Sony with MP3 playback capabilities.
A few photos. Wheels had a few areas that needed filling before painting.

Jamie,
Your C4 is awesome. I just read the whole thread and am very envious. (1) You make the time for this stuff and (2) you know what you are doing. My heart is pounding wanting to learn how to wrench on mine. Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.

As to the time, some projects are quick, some are not... those that take time we just take it one bolt at a time... my car was my daily driver for awhile so there were a few things that needed attention. Now with the other car I can take the time to bring the 964 back to top shape with some TLC.

With all the work going into the '83 I thought the 964 would start to get jealous so when I ordered the RS panels for the 83 I ordered new door straps for the 964.
Took the time this morning to replace those.

Much better now...

All info and more photos here: Mid-raise lift
Delivered to my home in Orlando, FL - US$1,400.00 + 98.05 to have the truck that came home with a lift... 1200lbs delivery weight... If you have the ceiling height I would recommend a two post asy lift... only a couple of hundreds more and soooooo much better (nothing in between or under the car which makes it even better to work under our cars).
I will also use this post to upload the photos of the pedals (to keep everything in one thread)
New pedals installed!!

I did the rear wheels with proper paint and an air compressor... the difference from using cans of spray paint is amazing... now to redo the front...
