    Greetings from the United States. I love the work you are doing on this Corvette as I remember them when they were new. I worked at a Chevrolet dealership at the time.
    I see it has the heated outside mirror option, the coating on the front windshield/windscreen suggests to me the car is optioned with the heated windshield/windscreen. This was a somewhat popular option in the northern states on certain Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac and Oldsmobile models.
    The option codes for the car can be decoded for the option code or group that will confirm this.
    Great to see this car being repaired back to roadworthy condition. Keep up the great work!👍

    A steamer is great and all but it cannot break down certain types of deposits the way a general purpose cleaning agent can. Also it tends to blow dirt around while losening it.I would recommend getting a wet-vacuum aswell. It is imperative to kill off the funghi and get rid of the spores. The spores are what is dangerous inhaling. Great project and looking forward following it :)

      @@Auto_Funk Great to see this is in the plan. I too came to comment about the need for the entire interior must be removed, carpet, seats, panels, and dash. Get into the HVAC piping and consider it a win the blower fan did not operate and blow who knows what in your face. There will be rodent nests and droppings as well as mold spores throughout every fiber of your ZR1. Do the car justice and go the extra mile with a fully proper decontamination. One last thing, use care when trying the steamer which can loosen the upholstery adhesives and ruin things like head liners and door trim panels (cards)

    It’s worth investing in a carpet / upholstery spot cleaner, it’s the only way to really remove dirt/mould from upholstery.
    Also, there might be mould inside the door cards, so I would have removed them before cleaning.
    Also also, get some plastic protectant spray for those plastic surfaces.

    @smokeymotorsport 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Another Late Brake Show visitor! I'd say starter solenoid, cables and contacts in that whole circuit, and potentially starter motor itself will be the issue. Voltage on the dash looks pretty low, and the dimming when turning the key suggests it's trying to fire the solenoid. Having recently had issues with an American V8 to resolve though, I'd suggest taking all the wires off the starter circuitry, clean the terminals etc and charge the battery completely, ideally even leave a booster on in case it's weak. These things have some compression and I believe have the big block starter, which is a fairly savage combination. Love the car though, enjoying your videos so far too. Really keen to see it shine, start, and do some hooning as intended. I think I saw it on ebay and was too chicken to bid, so I'll be annoyed if it doesn't need too much!

    Hey Fellas, I am loving this series. What an awesome car. I know it's in good hands.
    One other thing, you need to normalise the audio a bit better, the talking parts are low and when the music cuts in, it's so loud and I have to always adjust the volume.
    Can you bring the music volume right down please ? It doesn't need to be so loud.
    Cheers guys.
    Regards from Australia !

      @@Auto_Funk All good buddy. Hey, I noticed the clicking of those relays inside the car. I think it may have something to do with the chewed up wiring in the engine bay. Wires are shorting out for sure.

    Cracking second part guys. Yes a lot of cleaning and effort to get the interior looking a hell of a lot better then what it was first like. Like you said it's still not properly cleaned yet but Roman wasn't built in a day. Plus I dear say you were getting sick of spraying and rubbing all that dirt off. Looking forward to your next stage in the restoration of the car.

    Thats a great find, on 1990 through 1996 C4 Corvettes including the ZR1 you can bring up codes plus do all sorts of troubleshooting via the LCD screen on the dash, I can provide a link if you need it or just search Corvette Central c4-diagnostic-trouble-codes. Good Luck with your project. also I recommend getting the factory service manual with electrical supplement, you should be able to get this on cd or a hard copy.

    • @Auto_Funk
      @Auto_Funk  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
