Default NB intro
Picked her up Mon. What a car. Couple issues, moth ball smell, seller stated he only placed moth ***** around the car and on top of the car cover. But I have my doubts. Didn't smell during test drive. The car cover was in the frunk for a couple of days after purchase so I'm hoping thats the case. I've placed bowls of baking soda, charcoal briquets, and coffee grounds inside the car. Any other suggestions? Also the engine lid will not stay open on it's own. I love the car, pure joy to drive. My short research to date indicates the 95 cannot be fitted with 18" wheels. What's the widest 17" tire my stock C2 will handle? Well I tried to attach pics but when I click "manage Attachments" Nothing pops up for me to continue. Help!

Interesting, mine doesn't smell like mothballs, so sounds like he was a bit heavy handed.

The engine lid is easy fix, just replace the hood struts. $50

I have 18" on my 95 Cab. You need to install a steering rack brace.

Very nice....I've always like that color combo. Congratulations and enjoy.
BTW you can run 18's , 19's. It's recommended on '95's to add the steering brace.
