my first corvette.
hi everyone. steve here. acer.
I finally get my first corvette. my wife and I both have always wanted one, loved em since we first started looking at cars. in our 60s now, but loving the car. an 89' convertible witn only 41,000 original miles, fairly good shape. had to some work to geet it running right, change injectors, fix some wiring, add radio that someone took out and remove dash to fix heater valve and get the electronic temp fixed.
all seems good now, but cant leave it alone. want to change out the airpump, intake, exhaust exc. and see if I can get a little more torque ot horses out of her. also need to change the top, rear window is cracked and top is getting wore.
did help a friend of mine do a groundup resto on his 62'. turned out gorgouse. wont do that again though, wow.
well love the help ive received so far from people, and looking forward to seeing more advise from people that know wht is going on.
thanks.

I'd encourage you to spend some time in the various C4 sections of the forum - lots of helpful members and good information available there.
