Hi to all-
I'm cross posting this to both the ZR-1 Registry and to the Corvette Forum ZR-1 Discussion. I don't post much, but I read both lists daily. I bought my dream car a 1992 Yellow ZR-1 #031 last July. My cousin owned it, said he was going to sell it, and I had always wanted one. Through his neglect there were problems. It needed tires, all 4 shocks, 2 actuators although I replaced all 4 (the selective ride had never worked since he bought it in 2001, he said it didn't need it) ahh... BS! Then the AC pump went, then the water pump. Next to go was the Alternator followed shortly by the belt tensioner. Did I mention that my cousin is the chief mechanic for the State of Alaska Central Region Department of transportation. I haven't worked on cars for a long time. I've owned and wrenched on a lot of performance cars but the last one was in the 80's. Thanks to these two lists I have been able to fix ALL of the problems that have cropped up, including the driver side Bose amp replacement today. All is to be expected when a car like this is neglected. That won't happen while I own her. I have her up on a pedestal... I have to, I'm changing the oil, transmission oil and differential lube tomorrow. Once again Thank you all for the silent knowledge and courage to do this. I am having the time of my life!

The rewards for your hard work will be plenty.
From opening the hood at a car show (get the top end powder coated!) to a nice long cruise.
Nothing like a drive to cheer you up!
Congrats!
Unless I were to buy a new plenum, I can't powder coat it. Mine is signed by Dave McLellan. I wonder sometimes how many he signed over the years. Someone want to start a poll?

A word or two of thanks!

Cross posting is fine as long as you're not cross dressing!
