r/c4corvette

Red hard top, rebuilt transmission, new interior, 150k miles. Blown head gasket but drove onto trailer with no misfires no codes and was meticulously maintained with a folder of maintence history and reciepts. Including new cooling system, injectors, transmission rebuild, oil changes etc. owner noticed bad head gasket and drained the old oil and coolant out and refilled with fresh oil before parking.

This penny was lodged in the electric seat lifter and broke all the plastic in the seat gear box.

84 Vette, 10 S80 V8, 11 XC70, 04 Yukon XL 2500 8.1. My ideal 4 car solution.

I just purchased this 1984 C4 corvette for 7,000$ and I’m curious if this is a original color and paint job

OK, so I crashed the car on Easter, since then I’ve put many hours into swapping the radiator and getting everything back up to sound mechanical wise. I’m currently replacing the front bumper rear bumper hood. Once the body panels are all clean and smooth I was going to start the wrap, and now I’m debating on the rear driver side fender.

(I currently have the hood front bumper and rear bumper off the car. This is an older picture.)
It’s pretty banged up and I’d say that I don’t have the patience to do a fiberglass resin/Bondo patch. I do have an extra fender panel that I could replace with however, I don’t necessarily know how to remove it and I’m wondering, is it even worth the time?

Would I have better luck bringing it to an auto body shop seeing if they can do a fiberglass patch? also I don’t know the cost of that necessarily either and I’m trying to keep a low budget. just looking for general advice on how to deal with the fender

She's a dream come true!

I actually took a yellow C4 to my senior prom. It was my date's dad's car and I've wanted to get my own ever since.

Need some help identifying this small hose/line. Plenum/intake stuff will be removed because I'm replacing head gaskets. Thank you! smol blocc chebby. L98 1988

..But I think the C4 still holds its own these days all things considered 😉

Post your best pics you snapped this year so far!

I'm currently working on the door inserts for 1984-1985 vettes but that is quite the challenge, so I released a few small parts to pass the time.

1984-1996 door handle rod retaining clip

1984-1989 windshield wiper knob

1984-1996 screw grommet clip

1985-1989 armrest filler (available for free since there's a handful of these out there already)

Bought an 89 Corvette that I highly believe was put away running in a garage 10 or so years ago. Tires are dry rotted but most everything else seems to be in good shape. So far I have put in a new fuel sending unit, fuel pump, fuel filter, and of course a new battery. It sounds good when cranking and fires to life when I spray fuel starter but otherwise it won't turn on. What are my next best things to look for or work on?

If I’m light on the gas, it’ll accelerate fine, and I can even get it to shift into second. But if I’m driving like this and give it half throttle or more, it just cuts off, as shown in vid
-It revs fine in neutral
-No CEL
Long tubes are installed, o2 sensor isn’t installed. Whether the missing o2 sensor could cause this or not I don’t know.

Fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor, spark plugs, and plug wires have all been done recently.

Also, does the engine sound like it’s running fine? The long tube headers are open and have nothing connected to them.

Just picked up my first corvette. 1989 base, fully optioned with a ZF6. Needs some maintenance but overall decent. Paid $2600 for it. I’m not up to date on the market but I think it’s a decent deal.

First thing on the agenda are the rusty hard lines for the brakes, new brake booster, and a master cylinder. Everything else works pretty well. Digital dash is still operable. Radio and Air con console aren’t getting power but I’ll figure that out down the road. Fx3 light is on and I’m not really sure what that entails so I think I’m going to swap in a full coilover suspension. Bought it for autocross. Should be fun.

Honorable mention in the background - my manual swapped Vic.
