Default Hello All
Hello All,
New boy here from England.
Finally obtained the car of my dreams since I was 15 years old in 1972,

, (so maybe not such a “new” boy)! A 1972 Corvette Stingray Coupe.
Far from pristine condition, but it’s my mission to restore to glory into my impending retirement.
I apologise now for pestering you all for help in the coming days, weeks, months, and possibly years.
Best of the Season to all, and very best regards.
Phil....(Luckyrat).....
