Before $ After
Everyone likes a little before and after right? Here is mine.
On Dec 5,2009 I bought a very neglected, not running, been sitting outside for four years 1987. I paid the full asking price of $500.00. This was not my first C4 and probably won't be my last. Before
After
It has been a long battle with this car, I swore at times the car just wanted to die and had no will to live. I am a shop owner and work 55 hrs a week so ambition can be hard to come by sometimes.
Before
After
Thanks to all the passionate and knowlegeable folks here and elsewhere this vette is becoming a lady again
Before
After
There have been some surprises along the way such as
and finding a 4.11 geared D44 
Hope to see some of you on the road this summer

Great job, well done. Did you re-paint or just buff it out? A lot of hand work on the engine detail. And you have the SuperRam. Hey, you can take of the SR and sell it and be $1000 ahead of your purchase!!

Thanks guys,
John I had that SR off and on 6 or 7 times, I should have sold it. I sent it to a machine shop to have studs put in and to have the lower intake surfaced. The machine shop glass beaded everything and I just added some hi temp silver paint. No energy to polish it ( maybe on the next one)
Some shameless advertising
