One prob after another.
I was looking forward to introducing myself and my C4 recently but it seems that my cars repairs are taking a bit longer then I want them too. Was gonna post pics and stuff but its still in the shop (two weeks and going). So I guess pics are gonna have to wait. Ive had my 88 coupe for almost two years now. Bought it off a little old guy for 2500$, needed a little work but I knocked that out real quick. Until about 4 months ago I lost my reverse (4+3!) saved up my all my change and bought a Tremec 5speed, new clutch and flywheel. After 40hrs of troubleshooting and installing (at a Corvette restoration shop) still not done. Now It needs a new Clutch master Cylinder and Slave Cylinder, hopefully that fixes the problem Im having with the new clutch. Then I can drive it and adjust the speedometer. One day I will be done lol. Just really miss my Vette.

Sometime this year my baby is going to get some body work and repainted to All black with two bright yellow strips. I know this is going to take sometime so I am enjoying it as much as I can and getting all the small repairs done now.
Any tips to pass the time will it in the shop?

But just think how enjoyment you will have now after its finished. Sometimes mods can be frustrating, but well worth it.
