Exclamation Stock C43 owners DIY thread

I thought it would be nice to have a thread to show pictures of DIY projects for us STOCK C43 owners. I said stock cause people love to mod their cars and add/take out stuff. It would make it little more confusing

I will be doing some sparkplug installation with staplegun, and if I find cheaper front brake set, I am pretty sure i'll replace them with his help too. I am thinking about taking detailed pictures and post them here.

I thought we can all do that in this thread, unless there is a picture DIY thread already...

Thank you

sounds good, i know there used to be quite a few DIY pictures going around but finding them is always a challenge as posts tend to go this way or that. Some people get kinda rude about not wanting to have the same posts again, but i say go for it.

Yeah I bet it don't cost $11.99 though, don't think the frequency of usage justifies paying more than twelve bucks.

It's Charles Nungesser's crest - famous, much to my chagrin french, WWI flight ace. Skull and cross bones, coffin, and two candles within a black heart.
