Thanks for the warm welcome! I just purchased my first Vette (1987 C4) for $2,600 USD with the hope of having a fun car to learn on mechanically and get long tenured joy out of. I have no intent of getting showroom quality or flipping for a profit, but am hopeful to learn new skills and a craft I’ve always wanted to, and to revive the beauty this car once had and to keep it on the road. So far I’m estimating an easy $4-5k into all of the aesthetic, minor mechanical things I’m aware of, let alone what will come up along the way. I expect to spread this out over a few years. I’m in Washington DC; I haven’t looked at the used parts market yet, but will be open to all accessible means of finding what I need. Thanks in advance for all the advice and wisdom. I look forward to learning from and alongside everyone.
