Budget for a 1987 C4. And boots.

[Kiwi Bloke]

Hi all,

I'm trying to plan my budget for coming over in about Sept 2006 to buy a 1987 model (see my previous posts.) I'm guessing that in two years time, I'd be spending about $8,000 for an acceptable car. Would that be a good guess?

Also, when I'm over, I intend to buy some Wesco Engineer boots. (They aren't available in New Zealand.) Are they the sort of thing that you can just drop into a shop and buy, or are they specialist or made-to-fit these days?

Regards,

Adrian

There's a few places to buy Wesco's in my area at shops that have large variety and specialize in work footware. I think they are made her in Oregon. Break out your wallet I think Wesco is short for West Coast. I got a pair, too damn heavy for me though. Very well made. Did stop that chain saw from taking my big toe :eyerole

Thanks Moonunit. I'll just drop in somewhere during my two weeks' driveabout. I think they're about $300, if I recall right.

I'm soooo looking forward to coming over to get a vette. At the moment, I have a *tiny* Honda that carries my personalised numberplate that I used to have on my Jaguar. The plate is "1 SHADY". Looks ridiculous on a tiny, red, shopping-trolley of a car that would normally be driven by grandmothers. It'll look so much better on a red Corvette. I have to get a red one, for my first vette, because my 5 year old daughter insists that Corvettes HAVE to be red.

A few years after that, I'll be back to get a ZR1 in black. That one REALLY will suit the 1 SHADY plate.... <grin>
