Default New to C4’s!

Hey guys my name is Antony and I am a proud new owner of a 35th anniversary corvette. This is my favorite corvette ever and am blessed to own it! I wanted to introduce myself and ask you guys some questions. I am new to C4’s and want to be a sponge when it comes to these. Thanks for having me!

Paint looks a little rough but otherwise in good overall condition, by what the pics show. These are often the best buys because they can be cleaned up with little time/effort and come out amazing, with little repairs needed. Hopefully this is the case with your car.
You said you have questions...?

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your new 35th Anni.

FYI, please swap those front wheels left/right so that the fin directions match the rears.

Yeah I got it for 3K and I have a friend who owns a paint shop and gave me a great quote on a single stage paint job on it. And I think it’ll be a good car for me nice but also needs a little work which is good with me! Yeah here I have more questions I love the bette community you guys are the best!

whats the best parts site for these cars?

best for the money radiator on these?

good simple mods that aren’t too expensive?

is it worth putting a trans cooler on these? If so which kind or brand?

Good brake rotors and what are some good ceramic pads?
