Hi everyone,
I just got my dream car ('81 Corvette) after bugging my wife for ten years. Now, where do I begin to learn about restoring it? I have only ever done basic repairs on my own vehicles (brakes, alternators, etc.). I know only the very basics about the internal workings of an automobile engine, so could anyone tell me where would be a good place to start?
The areas I need to focus on first are engine, emmissions systems and heating systems (specifically vacuum routing).
I basically just want to get the car to look and behave as it was designed. I don't want a high performance show car.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
ladams
