Corvette owner again!
Hey everyone! I recently bought back my 1981 C3. I originally bought the car in 2005 and sold the car to a family member in 2015. The wife and I had the car in our wedding, and we had the opportunity to buy it back and here we are! The car has been sitting for a while and I am working on putting a laundry list of things that I need to fix to get it back to road worthy. Currently need to address the steering system and brake system. Front end is very loose and a major power steering leak. Brakes look fine but have a leak somewhere that I can't find yet... Possibly master cylinder leaking into the brake booster. BUT the good news is the car has a ZZ4 crate engine with less that 10k miles on it! Anyways...Looking forward to being apart of the corvette life again! See you all around soon!
