I purchased my Corvette on the 24th April 2004, the Vet took me 2 years to rebuild it ti its present state.Finishing it at 18:00 on good friday 2006 (13/04/2006) just in time for the 2006 Convention, its first real test was on the way to the NSW Convention where the car picked up NRMA car of the show.
