Default Hello from NY

Hello everyone Im Brian from upstate NY 1st time vet owner Just got a 1993 Ruby with 124k 6 speed. I got a great deal on the car its mechanically sound just needs some cosmetic love. Hopefully before summer I will have Ruby painted, all new weatherstrips, new tires, and new drivers seat cover and foam. I will be doing all the work myself so it will def take longer to get all this done plus I really dont want to use a credit card for all the parts needed so thats also a factor. I do think I'll start a thread when I do all the work hoping it will help somebody down the road.

Good morning, and enjoy your new Corvette!
You'll get a lot of satisfaction from doing the work yourself and paying as you go.
What area of upstate NY are you in? We used to live there, still have family in various parts.

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your AE C4! I always liked the Ruby Red paint used on that model.
Best wishes with all your efforts with your ride! I imagine many C4 owners will gain insight from your repairs as they see your ongoing efforts!
