And a couple more....

Also the pulleys are clear powder coated under drive pulleys.

Well I finished my cooling system rebuild for the most part. I forgot to order new tubes for the trans. Cooling lines and I apparently lost my upper support bracket cushions so those will have to wait a couple weeks. I got new hoses, water pump, fan, clutch, pulleys, radiator, reservoir...

Happy new years everyone! I'm pleased to say that I've learned an invaluable amount of info and history on my c3 because of you all. Hope everyone got home safe. So what did you guys n gals end up doing this year? I decided to keep it mellow this year and spend it with my family at home.
