New to the Corvette world. Just purchased a 1987 C4. Car looks like a million bucks, but has some pretty bad wiring problems. Going to need a lot of help putting it back together. Have wanted a Corvette for many years now, and at 64 years of age, figured if I don't do it now, I never will.
Lights all work, but the buckets won't open. Heater and A/C controls don't work. There is a mess of wires hanging loose under the dash. Radio is also gone, Window regulator missing on the drivers side.
Where to start?
