@@donaldcombs4677 There are techniques you can use to reduce the smell. It will be time consuming, somewhat tedious, and yes, cost a bit of money, but it can be done. Please let me know if you're interested.
Ok so I'm looking at a c4 it supposedly needs head gaskets the owner has started taking apart the motor and has gotten more than halfway into it both my son and I are mechanically inclined and have done head gaskets on other vehicles but never a Corvette my question is do you think it's a bad choice to buy it bc of the prior disassembly
If you have seen the rebuild, seen the car run after, then NO. Mine runs like a top. all it needs is a refined tune done to the engine. or if it is currently disassembled: If you have all the parts then not at all. you can go to the rebuild of my engine if your is an l98. or you can get the general idea of how to reassemble these engines. there are many resources for the engines of these cars. now if that is all that is the issue, no interior work needed, or body work, glass, carpet well just about everything in the car is expensive to replace. think of what you want the end result to be. I wanted daily driver, so I opted not to do anything with the exterior body other than clean and wax it. if you want Concours Condition then you will spend a LOT of money...
