Default I'm Back!!!

Back in July of 02 i sold my 87 Corvette Coupe and have wanted another one ever since. well on Mon 2/25/13 i bought a 86 Corvette coupe and got a great deal on it! This one needs a little work but for the price i'm not concerned about it.
It's great to be back! and i know the rules, here are some pics!

Wheels and exhaust look tight! Welcome back. Good luck with it. What types of things does it need? You said it needs some work.

Thank you and if anyone has any idea what the exhaust is that would be great. it just needs some of this and that. like carpet, seat covers, abs sensor, some paint work etc. a little here and a little there.

I like the Magnaflow system that Corvette Central sells. Fits well, no drone, sounds muscular without being too loud.
