Corvette C5 Project Car

Decided to take a chance on a C5 Chevy Corvette for my new project car. As far as I am aware of there are less than five C5 Corvettes in Jamaica, including this one. Plans so far are to clean up the car and do some bolt-on power modifications to the engine. The car is a 1999 Model year, with a T56 6-Speed Manual transmission.
