that there are two types of vette owners - the ones that enjoy driving their vette and taking good care of it and those who keep driving it and do nothing much to it - I have purchased the latter.
I can't tell you how many man hours of scrubbing and cleaning and painting that have been put into this car. it seems rather than figure out what was causing the oil to leak everywhere, they just kept adding more oil! :eyerole
the new throttle bodies are on and my bf has done lots of painting - the man is a genius! I bought the mothers power ball and the wheels look great - i used their aluminum mag polish and they came out great
and to add to the growing list of items purchased I just bought a rebuilt ac compressor, valve covers, water pump and a partridge in a pear tree!
I can't wait to get my tax return cause then its tire time and hopefully interior seat time - I know Rome wasn't built in a day but I so want to have a good ride this year and go to the local cruise nights.
Well a lesson learned about buying a classic car and while its a nice sound car I might choose something a bit cleaner next time.
This was encouraging and while I have almost 100k miles on my car, I do feel good about this...

I will post some pictures of work so far sometime this week.
I bet all the folks here are either folks who take good care of their cars or bought one that they want to make proud again.
