Hello from Michigan
Just got my first Vette, been driving a manual Mazda 3i for about 4 years, and decided I wanted something that was just more fun. Saw an ad online for a white 1986 C4 Coupe, and decided to pull the trigger. I emailed the dealer and asked if they'd take a straight trade for the Mazda, and they said yes! So for basically for the cost of title and fees n ****, I got myself this baby.
Has all the standard issues, window motor, antenna, etc. I wanted a first project and decided on this as the base which I was gonna start from. Gonna head in the NA direction.

Maybe when I get some decent sunlight, it's still pretty nasty weather here in the murder mitten.
