I owned 3 of these C4 Corvettes and if you ever want to startle someone while they look at your engine? Turn the lights on while the hood is up...most people will semi-freak. ;) DAMN...I miss them.

Great design and styling..typical Corvette..the 1984 digital dash was miles ahead of the opposition. Brilliantly retro now..then came heads up display..like in a fighter jet and then later g meter..the Corvettes had some brilliant tech.

The UK episodes of this show especially the early seasons like this episode were so great and fun to watch and see Ed at work. It was just a simple show with a simple idea. Buy cars and fix them. Once the show moved to the US and Edd left it was never the same. The cars became more like expensive restorations whereas episodes like this corvette were simply to fix the car affordably and get it mechanically reliable. Sadly just another great show ruined by the popularity and fame of the shows success

Fixing the dim dash is easy. Pull out the old one, pull apart the circuit boards, install new bulbs and put everything back together. I did mine for $50 and about 2 hours of work. I'm not even a mechanic.

Fun fact, gm recommends the butt connector with the heat shrinking ends over soldering, they claim in their extensive testing that the butt connector repair stood up better than the solder. I took the gm program at uti, that's what I was taught. I dont really believe that though
