Two days ago I finally received the original factory invoice which was used when my Corvette was shipped from the factory to the dealer. It contains information like the shipping date, original features and accessories of the car, what dealer it was sold to (including the state and city) and more. Invoices like this can [...]

Last week my friends from the Estonian Ford Mustang Club told me about their upcoming event at a gokart racing circuit, lately used mostly by cars. I ofcourse joined them and on Saturday morning we were ready at the track to prepare ourselves for some laps with an instructor and then get going alone. I [...]

Hi all,
Although everything was OK with the Corvette differential when I bought the car October 2008, I had it parked in the garage over the winter and when I began driving it last Spring, I noticed a very strange behaviour with the rear end. When cold, everything was fine, but when I began driving it [...]

Hi all,
Long time no new information here, but the present moment makes an end to this silence :) Again, I’ve been busy. I have my Air Traffic Controller job and all sorts of other activites with my businesses. Still, I managed to accomplish one of my long time ideas to gather two friends, one with a car [...]

Hi all,
First of all I’m sorry for staying so quiet for so long. Times have been busy at work, but also with the cars :) I have started a new division under my company called Red Rock Decals which is a sticker production firm, mainly creating them for cars. Stickers have been my interest for [...]

Alright, I’m ready to share some updates on the progress of restoring the floor pans and carpeting in my ‘79 Corvette.

First of all, I have a new car! There are good and bad news about this – I got myself a huge Chevrolet Suburban which I’ve always [...]

Hi everyone,
Late Monday evening after coming home from work I decided to assemble the dash together (I’m waiting for new parts to fix the dash lighting) and go for a drive. I had the insurance still valid for a couple of days, the snow was mostly melted and the streets were completely dry. It was [...]

Here’s my first contribution to the do-it-yourself guys who are not so familiar with their Corvettes yet and want to fix the typical things. I am now going to explain how to remove the push-pull type light switch that controls headlights and dims the dash lights. It’s a fairly easy job. My car doesn’t have [...]

Well, it’s not the best time of year to buy a sportscar in Estonia, but I did it! Just before the winter called in, I found the car I like and I closed the deal a couple of weeks ago. Winter is a good period to work on the car in the garage and prepare [...]
