Newbie!
Hello to all! I just bought a 2001 Vert. This is my first corvette. I have had other cars from other American manufacturers over the years that I have moded. This is a rescue of a true American Icon. When I bought this car the clutch pack was burned up the tires were burned off the rims were curbed it had been left outside. This car had leaks from everywhere and electrical problems like crazy wish me luck!

Newbie!
Thank you so much for the welcome! I love the car! I bought back in May of this year since then I have replaced the wheels and tires and have had a new center console put in and had the engine transmission and differential sealed along with exhaust replaced. Kooks long tubes kooks x pipe and gm titanium mufflers. Billstein suspension the whole way round and underdrive pulley kit. Along with new clutch and clutch pack. Still working on the electrical and trying to figure out why they removed the pcv valve and all the tubing and capped off everything. Any suggestions on what to do? I was looking at the c5 mild mighty mouse setup.
