Hi,

Just bought a C5 from Florida, now waiting til it gets shipped to Europe
2004, with all extras (F55 magnetic ride, tinted top, etc)

Planning to wrap it to yellow, and maybe add a nitrous later

Thanks I was very lucky, find a nice one with reasonable price

Very clean, and the tinted top is without scratches

TODO list to make it perfect so far:
-seat foams / leathers (will get custom wrap, from premium automotive leather)
-the balancer
-ebcm relay
-get brass gears to headlight motor

Also, have to get euro tail lights for the registration

Plenty of work, but eastern european labour is cheap

Not too many I know around ~5 guys total with C5.
Total number of corvettes is around a houndred, maybe two.

Even in whole Europe, it's hard to find a nice one, and they are super expensive.
