Beautiful Work, by an obviously very talented man. paint, interior and body work just as nice as the heavy mechanicals. Jealousy rears its ugly head..!!!
You really made that C4 a sought after car. Thanks for the great posts, and photos.
Best, Derek.

I think I just had a wankel-gasm...

Great swap! I can't wait to see more videos of this awesome car running and after it's tuned. I'm going to end up doing a LS swap here eventually. That is after I've made it handle and stop. Then I'll make it fast(er).
