15 years old with a corvette
My father bought this car back 2002 when I was 3 years old and every since I can remember my life revolved around corvettes. when I turned 15 I got my learners permit and told my dad I wanted to get a car. He then gave me the option to fix the corvette that had been sitting for over 15 years (he bought as a project) or sell it and do as I wish with the money. Since $2000 Hondas weren't really something that excited me I decided to take on the task of bringing her back to life with my grandfather and father. Happy to say I am now 19 and still the proud owner of this corvette.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your C3!
What a tremendous difference in your before and after pictures. You can be justifiably proud of the work you, your father, and your grandfather did on your car!
