Im sure some of yall have seen it around...u cant miss it...so here it goes. The car was originally a 98 silver corvette that I purchased exactlly a year ago with 23k miles. Unfortunately I wrecked the front end in March. I bought a Yellow clean non-wrecked bare shell including the entire front end (basiclly everything u see in yellow) and swaped out EVERYTHING...I mean EVERYTHING. Engine, drivetrain, wire harneses, computer, interior, fuel system, everything u can think of... even the windshield and airbags. The entire swap was done by me in my garage in a month and a-half. The car runs exactlly the way it did prior to the wreck... no check engine light... no problems. Just needs paint now...however it does get ALOT of attention like this. some people think it was done intentionally. Here are some pics Enjoy!

any chance you got that Rear Right Side Quater Panel for sale as well as the rear top bumper, a wetback drunk driver with no insurance rearended me and i wanna get my C5 fixed. I didnt have full cover because well for someone my age (23) full cover is just like another car payment. I wooped his *** but other than that its all coming out of my pocket to fix. btw im hispanic so i can say wetback lol, it's like the N word but for hispanics lol
