Hi everybody,

after cruising on this forum for a while I finally made it to register and become a member of it.
Let me first introduce myself, my name is Sonny, I'm a 27 year old Belgian engineer who was able to fulfill one of his dreams a couple of months ago.
On a trip to Florida I bought a nice '77 candy red Corvette which I transported back home to Belgium. The car is in a good shape and just needs to get the regular clean-up of a 26 year old car (new carpet, weather-stripping, few electrical issues and paint chips,...) Althought it is not my intention to restore the car in a better-then-new condition, I'm planning to do the best job I can in getting it in a wonderful shape again.
As it is not that easy to get good info and help on a car like this in Belgium, I will be asking a lot of questions, maybe easy to answer for some of you experts, but of a great help for me...
I will try to post some pictures later as soon as I have found a way to get a free website from my internet-provider.

Well, that's it for starters, see ya later

:seeya Sonny
