Hello all,

Well, since I'm here, that would make me another new member.

I just purchased a C4, 1996, Polo Green, Auto as a X-mas gift to myself. I have already got my hands dirty. Complete buff and wax. New water pump, cap and rotor, plugs and wires, all the gaskets and seals (except the rear main), new power seat rack and rear window gasket.

Only picture I have is in my name. I think you can see it?? I’ll ad some photos to the photo post once I get my URL set back up.

A little about me:
Male, 58, and live in hot old AZ.
I've worked on cars since I was around 13 but I just do it now for myself and family members.
I have loved Corvettes since I first saw a 1963 split window. There out of my price range so I settled on a nice C4 that needs a little work but I’ll get it up to par.
