Default Hello from the Caribbean

Hi, guys. I'm completely new to the forum and it looks like you've got a really good thing going here. I owned two vettes while living in Canada - the first was a red on red 86 automatic coupe and the second was a factory ordered black on black 89 6 speed ragtop. I added a Greenwood Motorsports kit before bringing it down here in 93 - it was the only "new" vette down here at the time and created quite a stir. 2 years later, I sold her to my best friend but stayed close, helping him with a few mods and "road testing" it for him every once in a while. I now own a Unique Motorcars 427 Cobra replica with a Chev 383 stroker. The main reason I have signed up is that unfortunately, my buddy ran off the road a few months ago and collided with a tree. The car sustained damage to the right front suspension, a shattered hood and a smashed windshield. Recently he approached me and asked if I would help him rebuild my old baby since I am more or less complete with the cobra. I know how valuable an online forum of enthusiasts can be on these projects and I really need your help. The first thing I need to find is a really good online source of new/used/rebuilt parts for the C4 since nothing is available down here. Thanks in advance and I look forward to talking with you guys as the rebuild progresses.
ps: I promise that all my posts will not be so long winded. :sleep:

Thanks, TX. Nice stable you got there. Hang on to that Camaro - it will be worth a mint in the future.
