Already busy with projects such as :-

Fixed High Voltage Issue due to loose battery clamps
New AMP for subs
Got Jacking Pucks
New FOB off e-bay
Painted some scrapes and paint chips

Here are some pictures and have learned a lot from this forum.

Welcome to the forum!! I had a C5 coupe that was totalled out by an old (87yo) man trying to beat a light. Loved that C5!! Bought a replacement 06 C6 silver (of course) vert. Two totally different animals. The C5 felt like a real sports car to me. Anyway, look me up, I am from Casper. And your C5 looks absolutely georgeous!! Dave

Thanks folks for the welcome

After fixing some minor issues after the initial purchase, got some jacking pucks, new Nitto Invos installed, new battery clamps ($6) to fix the high voltage issue (this must be the all time cheapest fix yet) all is well and it hauls azz.

Here I have the Z up on jack stands while changing out the old tires :





And, in the new home :
