New recruit
Hi. Just got my 1st Vette. It's a 1980 T top 350 manual.Great aren't they!!
Been doing a few little jobs to make it run better.
I've just junked most of the emission stuff, and that has livened it up a bit.
Where is a good place to get interior stuff from?? I want to get new covers for the seats (leather) and maybe a new carpet. I live in the UK so I need a supplier that will export. A web site would be great.
Thanks.

Re: New recruit (Col-UK)
Wow!! What a welcome. Thanks.
I have bookmarked those sites and will have a good look later.
Previously had a "Smokie & the Bandit" '77 Trans Am, and an '87 Blazer K5. Always wanted a Vette. Very pleased with it. Got some engine mods in mind, but I want to use it for a while first. It's in fairly good shape, but there are a few marks in the seats, and the carpet although not worn out has seen better days.

:seeya Welcome!
That's great you don't have to worry about emissions, that 350 is really going to wake up with some modifications. This is also a great spot to get opinions on what mods you need to do. ;)
