This is how I got the Corvette. It was a trade-in for a car I was selling.
At first glance, it seemed to be in good shape. She drove, even with some issues. Upon closer inspection and doing research on the yellow residue all over the engine bay, it turned out that there must have been an engine fire in the past. Wiring was badly damaged.
Removing the engine wiring harness
I decided to start this project by removing the entire wiring harness instead of trying to fix it while in the car. It was a good decision because a lot of damage was hidden. I had someone rebuild the wiring harness for me. It was cheaper than resourcing all the connectors, getting color coded wiring etc.
Interior
Since I had to replace the heater core and fix the under dash wiring, getting access meant taking a lot of the interior out. So I decided to replace the discolored carpet while at it.
Shocks and Tires
The old shocks were completely shot, so were the tires. Easy job to replace the shocks. I found a new set of rims which I like better than the original saw blade style.
