1982 vette silver/claret
Hi I'm a new member who just bought a 1982 vette. Car needs new brakes, radio isn't working and driver's door locks are stuck. Car has only 45,000 original miles. Could use a little touch up paint job too. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the CF and congratulations on your Vette. Start slow and first of all make a list of what needs to be done and then prioritize the list as to the most important (which is getting the car running correctly) to the least which will be the cosmetics. Good luck with the restoration.
