Default Just saying hello

Hello C4 forum.

I have been a C3 owner for about 7 years now, but the corvette bug bit me hard this year. I just purcahsed a 1985 coupe with a 454 conversion. Just wanted to say hello and that I'm really excited to build this car up. The car needs a good compound/polish/wax, new carpet, window motors and a new stereo, Im sure I will be posting some questions soon. Thanks ahead of time for the support... cheers

Welcome, well if your going to get into a C4, I guess there's nothing like having a 454 stuffed in her. Very nice

Nice, there have been 3 guys on the vette forums that I can think of with c4's with a 454 in it.
That thing looks like a nice sleeper.
