  • Thanks on the price and hoping I never need to but If this thing ever gets rear ended I'd like to widen the back for wider tires . Sort of ZR1ish but maybe taper it back in before the bumper cover . Again , hoping I never need to . Sometimes though I can hear the call of a C3 ........I keep trying not to listen .

    • A C4 is way too refined for someone like me.

      • I assumed those were all made as one piece, didn't know you could replace the fenders!

            now that you know they're there - I bet you see them on every C3 from here on out.... it's flat the parts are like this -----_-------- where they glue the two panels together by bonding them to a bonding strip. They fill that upper space with bondo then sand 'flat' you can easily see that flat spot on all the fenders.

            • parts arrived



              now the line runs well from the regulator


              they're easy to assemble - or at least easier then typical braided fuel line


              I am going to either buy another fitting or get creative back here because I don't think there's enough line to make a 90 into the pump....

              • time for flares

                add heat


                and pop, off it comes


                and the new sitting in place



                time for an executive decision on where to splice this together


                chop chop


                The CIC flares don't wrap all the way under, nor does it maintain this edge - even if I fill it, I want the strength so here's what I did


                and pop, off it comes




                rough cut




                seems to be going the right direction


                I plan on filming a YouTube video of the second side when I do it, but here's the comparison to 'before'


                now you can really see how much extra flare there is




                and the back, again



                a picture of how much of the back is bonded


                I think I want the flares bonded in place before I finish the fuel system, which isn't a huge deal because it's really not going to be driveable for a bit longer

                        73 degrees - and given their lack of a temperature range, I'm thinking that if I even asked they'd laugh at me.

                          • no worries, I'm pretty sure the answer is "no" but it's worth exploring alternatives. My plan is to use the West system (boat stuff) - and they say that you 'can' do at lower then 70 degree temps, but while the words say "well, you can" the rest of the fine print screams "what are you, stupid?!!!!"
