Put in some work on the C5 today! (pix) Just some before and after shot's for ya....
Today was the day to finally turn a wrench on the Vette, Arthur (RoushRaven on here) offered to help me with this becuase he's very familiar with the process and I hadn't worked on my car before. (and he's just an awesome guy!
)
He was awesome, paid VERY close attention to every detail so nothign got fucked (which is typical when I work on cars, LOL), taught me a lot about my car, up and helped me clean the wheel wells which as you can see below was a HUGE improvement!
Done today:
- New pads all around
- New rotors up front (they were warped) couldn't get rears in by today.
- New shocks all around
- Put the stock bolts back in up front
- Raise the car 1/2" (for obvious reasons)
Everything went awesome and I'm very very very happy with the end results! (reasonable ground clearance, awesome braking power and a cleaner car!)
So anyway, on to the pictures

AWESOME
i'm planning on doing that before i park the car this winter The wheel well cleaning that is. Then i'm gonna do a full engine detail and exterior detail Can't wait for it. Also gonna put the car up on the hoist and do the underside if i get the chance. May polish the piping on the exhaust since it's stainless and with a nice buffer it's relatively simple.~Cole~
