@mycorvettelife once again, such awesome useful video. I’ve literally got this exact job next on my todo list. Then the video ends with you showing parts you’ve ordered giving me an idea of lots of up and coming content. Content that I know will come in very handy again.
The paint for the valve covers, the shocks and pump parts. All on my todo list too. Great to know I can watch you do these and learn from it before going into it blind.
Your Chanel is helping me so much. I’m a complete mechanical novice but bought my C4 to learn on and enjoy as a new hobby. I’m more of a visual learner than a book guy, so these videos mean the world to me and my build. Much love from the U.K 😎
I love the C4's wheels. They're way more distinctive than the usuals.
I didn't know about the drain hose for the cowl. I'm really enjoying the series on the C4! In the future consider satin black trim paint.
I agree Satin Black would have been better.........Jus sayin....
Yep. EASTWOOD has a really good underhood black paint. Just like factory.
great stuff Chris!
Thanks!
Just commenting to push your vid. for the algorythm :) Keep your work up
I appreciate it!
Hello Chris, it is wise to cut of that narrow end of the rubber drain hose. Just to prevent it from clogging again.
Hi Cris, Really love all your vids, and learned a lot! I am about to buy my first ever American car- a C4... scared as hell to face all the possible issues that might come along but Feel That leaning to your vids would I would never Feel stranded!. All the best from Denmark :-)
Good video about cowl drains. Now try repositioning wipers. Oh yes, be sure to use CORRECT blades so as not to interfere with hood when closed.
Love to see a lot of parts stacked getting ready to be installed. This is awesome. Good job Chriss.
Thanks 👍
Chris, you the man!
Thanks Chris for showing this drain hose didn’t know abt that.....need to do my cowl on mine as well😎👍🏾🔥💯
Glad to help
Man you work fast Chris! I haven't moved that fast since....EVER! LOL!
🤣
You did it the hard way. If you lift up on the arm then you can slide the tab out then you can let go of the arm. The tab will hold the arm up and you can pull it up off the shaft.
Thank you !!!!
Hi Chris! Interesting how much crud can build up in just simple drains over the years! I like that when you have stuff all apart...you clean and recondition/repaint the objects and surfaces. You ever think about starting your own resto business? You are quite good mechanically and you achieve good results. Just a thot. Great content as always! Thanks much for your time.
Maybe one day.
Hello Chris good jop it looks like new perfect.
Thanks 👍
Getting mine together as well boss, much more content on the way. #C4
Nice...
Thanks
Loving this series and will be watching c4 content but I'm sure the c5 content is great too. 86 vette in ny! Great job. We look like we have the same stuff to do!
Thanks 👍
I waiting to see the heater core replacement, that will be interesting
I second the heater core replacement . As the owner of a 89 C4 my biggest fear is a failure of that core . The worst part is that there isn't even one video out there that is the least bit helpful .
@Jeff Spicolli Yeah, I thought that, too. I think the CDM was second.
Incidentally, I found that if you take the passenger seat completely out, it makes it so much more comfortable and easy on the back.
Wow Chris - I owned one for 9 yrs and did not know that it had those same udder drains like the C5 has. Duh! Thanks for the edumacation dude!
No problem 👍
American sport.muscle.🇺🇸👍🇵🇷
Wow! This car is going in the right direction. I really like this video series. What's not to like about the C4 anyway?
Yo!😎👍🏿 Very helpful video Chris😃
I was thinking about doing the same thing when I first bought my C4😎👍🏿
Hey Chris
I have a video on how to replace your oil pressure sensor. You can find it on my TH-cam page, and if your needing to replace yours😎👍🏿
Thanks again for making great videos 👍🏿😃✌🏿
I would have used semi gloss black for the wiper arms. They were not gloss black from the factory. Same for those plastic pieces.
What about the cowl itself being damaged? Nice job on the cowl screens. Mine is damaged as yours is which I could see at 2:22. How difficult is it to repair or replace?
I have your 87 convertible twin. Dreading the the fuel filter and knock filter because of the cross brace.
Fuel filter the same on my Todo list- 93 Convertible. right next to the Catalytic cnvrtr
Any tips on cleaning out the passenger side utter drain?
A new record! 12 "go aheads" in under 12 minutes! But seriously folks, I also think the wiper arms, etcetera should have been semi-gloss. Gloss black is way to shiny in this location.
Wow! Didnt know those hoses were there for the drain. Thought the drain was just down thru the crevice in the panels. I thought you were going to replace the screening. Be sure to use some chemical guys vrp on the rest of the cowling/gaskets that you didn't remove! :) do you ever hear from the gentleman you bought the car from about the content you are creating from his old car? Did you get him to subscribe? 😁
Any paint that you recommend to paint plastic? do you think it's good to paint plastic
Its definitely doable. Depending on what grade finish you want, I think prep is the most important step.
Does vette leds have amber turn signal leds? I watched your video about your C5 but I have a C4 in white and I'm looking to upgrade my front turn signal bulbs to leds can you advise?
Stay tuned. I’m doing some R&D for Vette LEDs for the C4. Soon they will have a full line of LEDs for C4.
@@mycorvettelife thank you
You have 2 left wiper arms.
They make a tool for wiper arm removal, just sayin'
Screw driver worked pretty good.
