Hello from Florida
Hello I've been lurking on this forum for a couple years now, I got a very cheap basket case C5 with the intention of learning how to work on cars and eventually race.
This forum has been incredibly helpful for me in this pursuit and I've been having a ton of fun working on this car even with the hitches I've run into. So far I've done just a few quality of life mods but also I've personally rebuilt the transmission which I am very proud of.
Once again thank you all for making this website so helpful!
