2-new door panels (not too bad shape, but they do need to be replaced)
3-exterior LED conversion
4-rear lense replacement (couple cracks, and a chrome ring is missing on one)
5-new front spoiler (looking at an indy style)
6-valve job and new springs (it needs it so prob that after i finish exaust)
7-stock rear bumper replacement
8-and total body repaint
9-bigger CAM (.......its an L48, c-mon)

You say you have a girl friend? Are these stock sidepipes or header side pipes? If you are putting covers over a header side pipe, then do that first, or you will be looking for a new girl friend after this one gets out of the car the first time.

I need to replace my door panels too, but I just repainted and replaced carpet on door and replace vette decal on handles. Looks pretty good for now. I will replace one day, but it looks much better and afforded me $$$ for some of my other projects (front/rear spoilers, mirrors, front-end rebuild kit, steering wheel wrap, etc.)

Save
Hey Miles, why don't you start a savings account so you can retire early? Let me explain. These are negitives: girl friend, Corvette and spending on both. Now let us go to positives: By a Honda, save your money, buy property. This equals good things. This is why I retired at 55 when all of my knuckleheaded friends are still answering to a dumbass that is given a 5 million dollar budget to watch but can't balance his own check book.
The property is paid for and now my extra money goes to the cars. See how this works?
So you are probably thinking this guy has no fun. Not working is like Saturday.........every day.
