2001 c5z06 91k miles, all stock minus a cat back. Plans for now are just headers/intake/cam/clutch. Dont think Ill spray this one, maybe procharge it way down the road. So far I love it drives and looks like a 30k mile car.

that was my first car. Dad bought it for me in highschool and we started restoring it, drove it my senior year, then bought my ws6. We still want to finish it but not having a garage/time/or funds is killing it :/. Mechanically it was dont just needed paint body and interior, now its been sitting for 3 years :(

So what you're saying is you guys don't drive a perfectly driveable car? :-P

Well its been sitting so long it could use some freshening up. The windows leak like the titanic, even through the cover so the interior is moldy. Ive been meaning to get in there and strip it out and clean it just no time.

The windows leak like the titanic, even through the cover so the interior is moldy and the floors, toe boards and roof at the front corners below the top weatherstripping are rusting far worse than I think. Ive been meaning to get in there and strip it out and clean it just no time.

sadly, fixed. :(
