Just saying hi..
I don't actually own a 'vette myself - not that I wouldn't like to - but my 20 yo daughter might end up being gifted a C3, and my GF's 19 yo son was gifted a C4. I earn my keep in computer stuff, but own bikes and cars and love wrenching.
Daughter is a gearhead and doesn't need my help for much. She's put disc brakes onto her showroom condition 2nd owner 442, and daily-drives a Challenger, but the boy is, well, a jock, and quickly becoming disillusioned about the previously anticipated 'vette owners experience..
So I'm here to learn, ensure he "keeps the faith", hopefully help her turn a nice example into a showpiece or drag monster (yeah she does that too), and perhaps get the bug myself.
(don't have a good pic of the C4.. but, does anyone? lol..)

Your daughter has one fine looking '82. Welcome and the C3 and C4 sections of the forum should be a big help to you.
