The 1989 Corvette convertible restoration thread

Ya know, the only advantage to keeping your car "stock" is supposed to be more reliability...... or maybe not

:rolleyes:

I also replaced the front spoiler, which was completely missing.

Way to go OX showing the C4's some love. I am a huge Vette guy so I am loving this resto. Especially nice to see a c4 get resurrected. Late c3s and early c4s are the redheaded step children of the Corvette world. Not too many nice 80's Vettes around anymore. Early C4's are some of the most important Vettes there are. They laid the groundwork for every Corvette after that. The jump in technology from C3 to C4 is massive.

I was going through my old pictures and I found some from my two trips to the Corvette museum. Lots of great pics. Well worth a trip even if there are sink holes in the building now. If I scan some of them I might post somewhere that people could see them.

I now see that the sink holes have been repaired but some damaged cars are now on display.

Did the car get repo'd or what???

 

[oxrageous]

Finally got a scanner on it tonight and think we may have found the idling problem. Part will be swapped out in the next two days and we'll see if that was the issue.

In the meantime, just got in my LED tail lights!

[oxrageous]

I'll tell you what part it was if it fixes the problem.

 

[NVGator]

Flux capacitor. Duh.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

So does this thing run or not.....?

 

[oxrageous]

It's a secret.

 

[Concrete Helmet]
