I joined back in January or February I believe after I bought my first C5. Electron Blue 2002 hatch/coupe. It was a bit of a mess when I picked it up. It needed paint correction, new seats, and suspension work. So far, I have done some paint correction, re-sprayed the deck lid, installed C7 seats, and refeshed some of the rear suspension and breaks.

For hobbies I work on the vette and when I feel into it, I build scale replicas

Thank you! I've had my vette for 4 months and still can't figure out how I made it to 42 without a sports car! Lol

Thank you! EB was my top choice, and ultimately the reason I have an auto and not M6.
