NEW MEMEBER FROM ISTANBUL / TURKEY

[acme-corvette]

Hi everybody,

I have been lurking on the forum and gathered lots of information from here, but today I have registered.

I have one 1996 LT1 coupe in metallic purple, one 1987 Iroc z28 in torch red, One 1996 Blazer 4 door 4WD 2" lifted and loaded truck. Thats all my inventory.

Previously I have totally restored my 1974 Z28/ LT. I doo all mechanics, electric, body etc. works by myself on my garage.

cheers to all

I'll add that any Dark Purple Metallic C4 is a rare car. In MY96, only 320 cars were built that color making it the rarest color that year.

Thanks Stefan,
As I mentioned on the post the finished car on the picture does not belong to me its an ebay picture for my self motivation. The car under construction is beling to me.
But thanks for your help on putting pictures
BTW I have been in Frankfurt, its a nice city I can speak little german, but didnt have any problem with the language, half of the taxi drivers were Turkish

Welcome fellow do-it-yourself'er!

I spent a year in Turkey back in 91-92, stationed in Istanbul and visited just about every military base over there! (even out to Erzerum! (sp?) )

Yep, lots of your country men and women are here. Next time you come up, tell me and we'll get together.

Sorry about the pic, here is the current one. It'll look good once you got it all back together.

Some of it was ok, some of it was...ehh well not! :L I particularly enjoyed Kushadasi!

Russia is just about right! Dead of winter too...NOT a pleasant place to be that time of year!

Actually Erzurum is a place like Minnesota climatewise. I have been in MN twice in the winter

Kusadasi is a warm place have you been in Izmir base? my highschool was next to base shopping mall
