Default I'm back :)

Hi Everyone,
Not been on for a long time, even forgot my password
I'm in Scotland and have just started the process for shipping a 1975 Vette over here fron California.

My last American car (you don't see many over here) was a 2004 Ford Lightning but had to sell to help with a house move
The 75 is a project car that needs a fair bit of work done on it so expect loads of stoopid questions. I'll also be scouring lots of post on here. I had an 87 corvette around 12 years ago and loved it.

Would love a C5 or C6 but finances at the moment say no

I'll post pics up when I get a chance

Here goes with some photo's.




Some attention required here.




It will be arriving with a new bumper, full replacement carpet set, weather strips and new seat covers.

Packed

Loaded

Spares that are packed inside



The rear bumper I reckon is from a 80 -82 and the front looks like a pre 75? I' not too clued up on these things so comments, thoughts and advice are all welcome. Good or bad
