My 1990 ZR-1 #2342 from SPAIN.
 

Hello to everybody from Spain. My name is Marcos and I'm the proud owner of one 1.990 ZR-1 Black on Black with 42.000 miles. I bought it last August 2.014 and I'm the fifth owner.

The car arrived to Spain at the end of 1.990 and remain all these years here in Spain with other collectors.

This ZR-1 is in a very good condition. Everything is in original conditions but the last owner improved the car with OBX headers, complete OBX exhaust line, cooling system (aluminum radiators) and reprogrammed ECU because of headers/exhaust line.

I'm a Corvette lover since I was a child and this is like a dream comming true... It's my first Corvette and I'm very proud to be a part of this big Corvette family!!!

I'm going to post photographs next... I hope I can do it!!

All the best from Spain!!

Welcome! I own the twin to yours made 100 cars later.

Re: My 1990 ZR-1 #2342 from SPAIN.
 

I am familiar with 5000 rpm... but I'll just take your word that it is braver than the bulls!! :handshak::-D

It must be very unique to have a ZR-1 in Spain, and one can tell that you are enjoying it very much! Congratulations, once again!

Re: My 1990 ZR-1 #2342 from SPAIN.
 

Thank you Vetman!!

And G-Sting, I know only five or six ZR-1 in Spain (members registered in the forum) and I think there are no more than thirty in all the country. During 80's and 90's in Spain wasn't possible to buy a C4 because they were not officially imported. Thank's again for your reports.

Re: My 1990 ZR-1 #2342 from SPAIN.
 

Nice looking Z! Welcome aboard! I've always liked the look of the wheels of the 90 Z's!

First of all, I must recognise that the car I bought in 2014 had a good shape but not perfect. After a lot of years stopped with first owners the car had common problems with basic maintenance. The car could run but it would demands a lot of attention... The last owner previously to me began the Works and in these conditions the car arrived to my life.

First big issue: Front right brake caliper completely blocked. During my first months with the car sometimes the caliper remained blocked for a seconds and when you restart the way, it worked well again not for much time?
Finally, the caliper blocked definitively. That was the tip of the iceberg?

My ZR-1 went for the repair shop for first time and after checking all the brake system the main problem rose up. ABS Bosch Module solenoid become stiff. All the brake lines were obstructed with a lot of filth like mud. I think nobody changed brake fluid never. Solution to avoid future problems?? Changed ABS Bosch Module, all the calipers, all the brake hoses and bleeding complete system with a lot of fresh new brake fluid to clean brake lines.
During this first visit to repair shop, my mechanic found problems with original spark wires and one of four coils. He put all new: AC Delco spark plugs, MSD spark wires and AC Delco original coils. He refresh too alternator pulley because of bad bearing and some gaskets from gas line.

After that, the car won a lot of softness, power and brake feeling.
First step was done. Just now was time to interior detail Works at home...

...it will continue.

Happy for you to have the car up and running. Great job.

Thanks Conesare2Seconds :)

Next chapter was making a deep interior detailing to carpets, mats, leather seats, all the dash and air diffusers.

It was necessary replace switch bezel seat controls because was broken or discolored and some little pieces like bolts, retainers and so.

Roof wrench didn?t in place? Thanks to Corvette Central I could buy one together with ashtray rubber and a bolt interior kit.

After all this work and little pieces here is the result:

My girlfriend restored TPI paint lettering. She has more patience than me?

We obtained, or we tried to, ?exact? color from internet pictures to send to our paint shop specialist to make one can with this color.

A lot of patience and steady hand to:
