Anyone from FBI land in my area?
I have to admit that I am a noob with Corvetts in general and ZR-1's in particular. I just cut a deal on a Z and got it shipped in from California.
I've restored several cars over the years and I am not too bad at it. I would just like someone with Z experience to go over the car with me and help me figure out a few things. The car needs a lot of work, honestly a lot more than I was led to believe. I need a little perspective to prioritize the project, decide what I need to fix immediately and what can wait. I had planned to be driving the car a lot this late summer. I don't think that is going to happen. Dan

Re: Anyone from FBI land in my area?
I am retired so my agenda is wide open, today & all weekend.
The Z is a '91 with a '92 engine. This is an out of control project car. I am overwhelmed. I could use some perspective & recommendations. Dan

Re: Anyone from FBI land in my area?
Hope you didn't pay too much for it. Can get very expensive to get back to great condition even if you do all the work yourself and there is a small upside on value.

Re: Anyone from FBI land in my area?
Paul Workman was just here, he tested out the systems and most everything is ok, drive line wise. I do have a laundry list of minor repairs to do, but nothing expensive.
Noises from the engine, trans & clutch asm are considered normal for these cars. What a relief! Thanks a lot Paul!

Looked like a nice car that just needed a handfull of things. Great to hear it's mostly sorted out except for some minor stuff. Welcome to the Brotherhood too!
