1st time Vette owner from South Dakota

[PJ_80shark]

Hello all. I am the new owner of 1980 Corvette L48

, a driveable project car. My wife calls it my midlife crisis

. I am sure I will have alot of questions (probably alot of dumb ones

) on repairs, modifications and restoration and this looks like a good place where I can get some answers and have some fun shooting the crap. Some of the projects for this winter will include: repairing the power windows (slow up and down), power locks (don' work at all), slow opening headlights, wipers (only one speed, slow), heater/ac fan motor (only runs with switch on high speed and is very noisy), reverse lights (come on when shifting from park to reverse but go off as soon as it is in reverse), dash and center cluster warning lights (do not work), dome light (doesn't work), horn (doesn't work), replacing 'u'-joints. That's it for now but I am sure something else will pop up. Thanks in advance for all the advice

that is sure to come. ---- PJ_80shark

WECOME TO CAC

Welcome to CORVETTE ACTION CENTER; glad you could join us

Sounds like all your shark needs is some tender love'n care; those things take time but it will keep you out of trouble and sounds like where you live you won't be driving it anyway pretty soon ;help

Stay tuned in and tuned up, congratulations on your first Vette too; it will never be the same again!

Welcome Aboard!

Keep a lookout for Evolution1980 - he has a unique 1980 Vette and can likely provide you with lots answers to questions regarding your new baby --- although there is a wealth of information from the great folks here on the site!
