My 1985 Greenwood Corvette has not been driven since 1999. I have a new Corvette 350 motor for it, new gas tank, new brake system, new radiator and new Power Steering Pump. I spoke with the Automotive teacher who will take in this car and over the next 2-3 months, his class will instlal the parts and repair the car and in general use the car as a class project. There is nothing wrong with the interior or exterior. It's just that the car hasn't been driven in 8 years. What level of service should I expect? I'm expecting that when they're finished, I can go there and drive the car home with no problem.

Sounds like a plan to me. All parts you mentioned are pretty straight forward. If the teacher is responsible enough they should make out fine. I hope they don't plan on overhauling the brake calipers or master cylinder. Proper instruction and tools are a must if they hone and clean the calipers and master cylinder. Don't skimp on brake parts. No off -shore rotors or no-name brake pads.

Take your car to a real shop. Don't let a bunch of pimple faced teenagers finish destroying your car. Half of them probably don't know the difference between an alternator and a starter.

I wouldn't trust my car whether it's old or new to a bunch of amateurs. I'll be willing to pay more just to make sure my car is fixed. A car is an investment.

Well you are dealing with High School Students. Honestly, I would not do it. When I was in high school, the class clowns always screwed stuff up. Cars were scratched, damaged, etc.

that would be the best case scenario but who really knows. you know there will be no warranty on the work but one might hope the teacher would know what's up. good luck with this buddy - hope it turns out well.

Don't ask us.. Ask the teacher these questions.
