New guy from NC
Hello everyone. I have recently gotten a new to me 1986 Corvette C4 coupe.
It seems to run well but has a few minor issues.
Cosmetics suck, PO decided to roll it with a paint roller.
I live in Hope Mills, NC just outside Fayetteville and Ft. Bragg. Born and raised in this area but I did spend 7yrs as a paid tourist driving OTR, so I hit all 48 continental states and even got into Canada a time or two.
I sold a non-running Toyota MR2 project I had to pick up the Corvette.
I plan on driving it and working on it as I get time while I do treatments and such for Stage 4 Metastatic Colon Cancer, so my progress may be slow.
My hope is to be able to leave this and an 86 MR2 I have as a project for my kids, hopefully many years from now.
