Injector swap done in Dec/Jan. Cleaned and painted the plenum, runners, and valve covers. Polished the fuel rail and installed new gaskets while I was there. Checked and reloomed the wiring. Fixed my poor running engine. Sorry don't have a finished pic yet. Going to clean my fuel guage sending unit contact sometime this week.

I bought a used 84-86E top that I have to convert the top so it works with my 94 Coupe. When I bought it the Headliner was a little ratty so I decided to recover it. here are some pics

Here is the microsuede material

here is the bare naked headliner board with the C4 logo centered and glued on it.

Here is the headliner covered

Detail shot of the embossing

and in the top

Robert, I used leatherique products. (www.leatherique.com). Here is a write up I did on CAC. I thought I did one here, but I couldn't find it.

Picture this suspension all shiny clean with new wheel bearings, bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends. I'm also replacing the steerign rack, p/s pump and all p/s hoses. That's all I'm up to.

The name plate on the rear passenger speaker grill had fallen off. The two mounting tabs on the back side of it are different sizes so I was able to reattach it in the correct position rather easily. This has given gave me the confidence to proceed with my next mod - installing the Hot Cam! I don't understand why everyone thinks these cars are so difficult to work on...

Shouldn't you be working on documentation for the C5 heater core replacement instead of cracking wise in C4 General?
