Hello...... again.
Hello to everyone.
I've been a long time member (like 16 years.lol.) but I haven't posted anything until today. lolol.
Long story short, I ended up with my dads 1998 C5 after he passed. I lurked through this forum many years ago when I was trying to help him fix something on his car..... And now that it's my car, I'm trying to fix the things that he neglected over the last few years.
I'll be around here for a while..... again.

Well, welcome to posting on the forum. My condolences on the loss of your dad - tough to lose a parent. Hope you are able to get the car in shape and then enjoy it.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
Right now the only picture that I have is one that I took last winter with the cover half pulled back while sitting in his garage.
I just picked the car up a few weeks ago and I've been working on it ever since.
I will get a few good pictures of the car once I get it washed and looking nice again.
Thanks again!
