Well I'm going to answer my own question. I have taken on a 1980 Corvette that is in pretty rough shape. Being a Canadian I would prefer to buy from a Canadian company. I have ordered from Corvette Depot a few times. Pretty bad experience. Even when they say it is stock it take 8 or more...

Thanks. I will keep that in mind.

Hi Reuuff Day Do they even make a ZZ4 anymore. Sounds like cam, carb, heads and intake are they way to go. I was doing some reading today and the stock exhaust is very poor and changing it out would be an improvement in its self.

I have a 1980 Coupe with an L48 4 spd. I was wondering where to find the best info on mods to give some more power. Not looking to break the bank as i may as well put a crate engine in it. I would like to keep it numbers matching. Thanks

thanks graham. I will be coming over to the Mainland in a couple of weeks. Could you have mine ready by then.

Looking for recommendation . Looking for a place to buy a good quality storage bag to store roof panels for a c3. Pervious owner was not so careful about keeping them from getting damaged in the back of car. thanks
