Newbie from STL area
Hello All. I've been registered a few weeks, but thought I'd finally step in to say hi
I have an 82 C3, some of you have seen pictures already under my bf's name on here.
Anyway, here's me and my baby:
Saw this one in the parking garage and couldn't resist:
I bought the car from another forum member on here. Did some interior rework on it. Went from gray to black. So far the only thing left gray are my steering column, door panels, and seats. I'll eventually get those replaced.
The tranny was going out in the car when I bought it, and I finally lost my top two gears a few weeks ago
At least I got to drive it for a few months before that happened. Instead of replacing just the tranny, I have a whole entirely different drive train that will be going into the car next summer (maybe sooner if time allows).

Thanks guys!
I'm sure I'll be asking a few questions from time to time when my drive train swap gets underway. And I am sure that I will have quite a few parts for sale in the future too.
EDIT=apparently this forum doesn't like my signature, it shows up on my edit window, but not when the post is made.

Well, I dunno what the deal is with my signature. It appears to only show up whenever it feels like it. So I suppose if you see it, then you will know what's gonna be under the hood next summer 
And yes, very aware of the LS1 swaps (got one in a 91 Camaro and one in an 80 TA)
I have the whole drive train from a 98 TA that is going into the Corvette. Already have a mild cam, headers, and a few parts I need for the swap. I can't wait! It's only been down a few weeks and I miss driving it already
