New Member from UK with 84 Z28
Just purchased a 1984 Z28 305 car and have it going into the garage for a full service and check over this week, it has only 40000 miles on the clock as it has been in storage for 11 years, it has some issues including a very badly fitting Edlebrock exhaust manifold and a stalling when cold problem, it also has a buckled rear driver side IROC wheel which are very very hard to get in the UK (help!!), look forward to getting plenty of advice from this forum

Looks really good. Can you post some under hood shots?
I had to get a replacement rear wheel and ended up getting one in the U.S. and having it shipped over.

Looks very tidy on the bodywork, might have to put some elbow grease into the engine bay to get it to match the outside. 
Very nice for its age though.

Hi, From Purfleet in Essex, have spent a few quid on the car in the last few weeks getting it into good order, finding it hard to get parts though

Depending on what you are buying, my advice is to buy direct from USA every time especially with the exchange rate as it is at the moment. Plus, I don't feel the UK suppliers pass on the saving of the current rate and instead tend to cash in more on the customer.
