Hi all, I'm a new member from Denmark, on my first Corvette, a C3 '81. I've had it for 2 years, and are still struggling with everything:-) I've been peeping around in here, obviously a lot of people with a huge amount of Corvette knowledge.
Right now I'm working on the electrical system, which almost drives me crazy:-) OK, it'slearning by doing, maybe I'll ask in here if it won't work for me, hoping some of you will share your knowledge/experiences:-)

Welcome CP0I from Denmark from Idaho. Nice to hear from people from across the pond. The car looks very nice from the picture. After having C-3s for years, three things you need is a repair manual test light and a Phillips screw driver to keep all the screws tight. If someone has played with the wiring under the dash there is a good chance it could have wiring issues. I have found if I was going to spend a Lot of time under the dash I would pull the seat lay a blanket on the floor and get comfortable. After these cars get older you will find that you need to replace or rebuild most of all the parts on these cars. I don't know anyone with a C-3 that doesn't tinker with the car. Hopefully you have minor issues and easy to trace down. Wire connection corrosion is common on these, even in the fuse box, so keep that in mind. Even if a wire is connected it is possible its not making contact. Ohm meter a must I think. Make it a habit to check and clean ground black wires. Let us know what you need..
