HI there
Had the lads over at Autobrite Direct UK give my 1978 Corvette the full works with paint correction and a 5yr ceramic coating, the results are nothing short of incredible. Over the moon!
That's a good looking thing !!Had the lads over at Autobrite Direct UK give my 1978 Corvette the full works with paint correction and a 5yr ceramic coating, the results are nothing short of incredible. Over the moon!
You must have been buzzing when you first saw it after the detailing.
Almost as exciting as the day you first bought it .

It been my first classic I was somewhat shocked at how at first I thought it was some weird manual automatic, as I did not realise the number 3 was equivalent to drive, so I was going 1, 2 and upto 3 on the automatic gearbox, LOL.
Then the ride quality, it was shocking, I later discovered my car had the Gymkhana suspension pack, so anti-roll bars, uprated springs and the factory AC Delco shockers, just made the car rattle and myself too.
However I fitted a set of Bilstein dampers and changed out the old iron leaf spring for a composite version, this transformed ride quality wih no impact on the handling which is quite decent for a car of this age.
In short it drives amazing, looks amazing and sounds amazing, I love it.
One last video of the exhaust:
A joy to drive, I do about 1000 miles per year in it.
