New Corvette owner
Hey all, new to forum and just bought my first Corvette. A red 1974 Coupe L82, 4 speed, is in really good condition, only 39,000 miles on original engine! My first task is to replace my u-joints ---> looks like alot of fun didn't expect to find 6 of them under there! Have alot of other things I want to do to it in the future. Will post a pic when I figure out how exactly to to it. :cheers:

Welcome! And don't rush to do too much too fast. As you get to know the car, you'll find out the "now" stuff and the "later" stuff. Enjoy cruising for awhile :yesnod:

Re: New Corvette owner (Koz)
I want PICTURES people. For every day that you go without posting pictures, you have to send me $10. :jester
Really, though, like they said, I already have a now list and a later list. I just got mine a few weeks ago. Great to have another new owner, maybe now I won't be the only one asking dumb questions.
