Who's here after the last Late Brake Show episode? 😉🙋

For a car that's sat outside for the best part of twenty years and has a targa top, the interior has already come up fantastically well.

It's amazing how the design of this gen Corvette has aged so well. Cool looking car.

Came over from The Late Brake show, really good to see how one of Johny's barn finds goes. Don't know anything about these American cars but great work on that interior

Good job with the interior 👏👏 it seems like new and in a incredibly good condition after 18 years out there.

Excited to follow your progress... great job rescuing this King of the Hill.

Definitely, you need to get it uploaded mid week at the latest 👍👍

I'm not massively surprised that so much stuff worked - it's from the golden age of pre-can car electronics, where most things are properly sorted, simple switches and relays. 😊

Because of Jonny I noticed You both with Your ZR1. I will follow You on this journey.

Nice seeing a couple blokes from across the pond taking the time to save an old American classic from my teens!!!

A good clean is always a good morale booster for a new project

Yes I am and will continue to watch the development of this car ❤

I’m insanely jealous of this. I’m a 42 year old American and this is my dream car. Look up WEST Corvette Japan. Their C4 ZR-1s are absolutely legendary.

That's an impressive transformation! Amazing what a bit of elbow grease can do.

The Late Brake Show brought me here, and I'm staying for the ride! Nice job on the cleaning, looking good already :)

It is so satisfying to bring back a minging car to a more sanitary condition. Good luck with the remaining recommissioning.

You guys have a captive market right now. You'd be mad to wait 6 days before releasing this vid - assuming its finished

The dirt protected the interior.. 😮😮😮

Great work guys on the interior! Relays are always a beast!.Anyways will be awaiting next video!!

Thanks guys. Quite refreshing to watch two normal guys bring a car back to life. Looking forward to the next episode.

This will be a great project! Keep it coming lads.

New subscriber here. Loving your work lads. Not a massive yank tank fan, but this is no ordinary car eh. And I do love a good project with good presenters. I’m gonna stray from the standard comments about the origin of my following, and give you huge props on the beats on your videos. Really nice. I’ll be watching and bobbing my head along from here in. Good luck with the vet. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The King is feeling the love!!

Came here via the Late Brake show (which I''d never seen before last night!). Love what you're doing on this, always had a soft spot for old American stuff. Fascinated to see this restoration progress....

Go guys!! Greetings from South Africa!! 😂You asked for it😂😂😂!! ❤❤❤

My 1992 Corvette was the most reliable car I have owned.

I agreed. KZfaq watches get bored easy. You need to churn the uploads out whilst the iron is hot. Once you have built up a fan base, then you can settle down in to a routine

Can’t wait to see you guys get this car back to its former glory. The C4 was a proper poster car for me growing up, love them.

It's always satisfying to see a mucky interior clean up well. Great news on so many electronics still showing signs of life.

It's an American built car of course everything is going to work!

Greetings from the United States. I love the work you are doing on this Corvette as I remember them when they were new. I worked at a Chevrolet dealership at the time. I see it has the heated outside mirror option, the coating on the front windshield/windscreen suggests to me the car is optioned with the heated windshield/windscreen. This was a somewhat popular option in the northern states on certain Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac and Oldsmobile models. The option codes for the car can be decoded for the option code or group that will confirm this. Great to see this car being repaired back to roadworthy condition. Keep up the great work!👍

G101 diluted cleaner is your friend!

Arrived here from TLBS just as many others have. Looking forward to following the build. I listed after Corvettes, the ZR1 in particular, when I lived in the states. The seats look so comfortable and ready for a large American arse to rest upon them for a cross country trip from New York to Los Angeles.

The previous owner should be ABSOLUTELY ashamed of himself.

Here from LBS but I'm staying because I want to see you get this car back on the road again. But I see you have done another one so I will be watching those videos as well. Keep up the great work.

Another Late Brake Show visitor! I'd say starter solenoid, cables and contacts in that whole circuit, and potentially starter motor itself will be the issue. Voltage on the dash looks pretty low, and the dimming when turning the key suggests it's trying to fire the solenoid. Having recently had issues with an American V8 to resolve though, I'd suggest taking all the wires off the starter circuitry, clean the terminals etc and charge the battery completely, ideally even leave a booster on in case it's weak. These things have some compression and I believe have the big block starter, which is a fairly savage combination. Love the car though, enjoying your videos so far too. Really keen to see it shine, start, and do some hooning as intended. I think I saw it on ebay and was too chicken to bid, so I'll be annoyed if it doesn't need too much!

Top job Boys, keep them coming. What a Iconic car. Amazing👊

Good work guys 💪

Looking forward to seeing you guys getting it running and driving.

Multi-time Corvette owner here and ya'll are off to an excellent start! What a find in that ZR1.

Great work guys can't wait to watch the progress.

Looks amazing

Looking good fellas! Cant wait to see you get it going.

Looking good after that spring clean! Good work chaps. 👍🍻

Nice start guys

Look forward to following the progress of this boys!

Looking forward to the progress!

Just watching your video back and that interior has cleaned up very well and glad you taking your time to work in this

Loving the car, loving the backing music.

Doing a great job cleaning that interior guys, night and day!

Good luck,, boys. 🤞 Jonny sent me. 😄

Also enjoying the Funk part of AutoFunk, well done, nice differentiator

Awesome guys you must be stoked!

Looking forward to the next episode.Fingers crossed you get the car started👍

great video guys looking forward to hearing it running

Agree, work with what you've got there!!

Really satisfying to see this car clean up 👍 love your video's so far, keep it up 💪🏼

Nice job guys, The ZR1 is cleaning up a treat 🙂

A steamer is great and all but it cannot break down certain types of deposits the way a general purpose cleaning agent can. Also it tends to blow dirt around while losening it.I would recommend getting a wet-vacuum aswell. It is imperative to kill off the funghi and get rid of the spores. The spores are what is dangerous inhaling. Great project and looking forward following it :)

Well lads. That went remarkably well hey? A quality motor evidently. Looking forward to the next bit.

Well done fellas

Great job guys, Cheers from Canada!!!

Great project to get involed in, and what a great start you have made. Looking forward to hearing that engine start up. Love the fact that it has Lotus links too

A great start, a long way to go...😊👍

Enjoyed that guy's looking forward to watching you bring this beautiful Corvette C4 ZR-1 back to it's best thanks for the video 👍

Wow that interior has come up really well.x

Looking forward guys to seeing the transformation 👍🏽😎 Great job already !

Liking this car already. Jonny sent me and he was right. This will be interesting.

Keep the videos comming will be a beast once finished

Last year I was looking at a ZR1 engine in France, very beautiful engine, unfortunately I have no use for it so I passed. I find it amazing to find this stuff in Europe, I don't know how many were imported but it can't be too many.

Great viewing appreciate the 'funky' music roll on part3

Oh man, I'm in love with this thing. Two fella's and their Zeeeee R1 😄 I've been looking up various sites in its homeland, trying to see what sort of money they are going for. Someday, if I'm lucky, I'd love to have one. Very much looking forward to following this 'Vette's adventure back to roadworthiness and adventures in the future....

Wow, impressive! Almost all of the electronics work! Amazing car, well done.

Great vid guys, looking forward to seeing how you get on the refurb

It’s looking really well preserved, I know it’s not anywhere near clean enough yet, but it’s great start 👍🏻, looking forward to hearing this roar 😊

Achieved a shed load. Great clean up.

Thanks, Jonny for introducing me to Auto Funk, I just Subscribed good luck with the engine guys.

Love it everything has a price 👌👌

Wow amazing guys looks like a diffrent corvette love it what Transformation guys 👍🏽👍🏽

Cracking second part guys. Yes a lot of cleaning and effort to get the interior looking a hell of a lot better then what it was first like. Like you said it's still not properly cleaned yet but Roman wasn't built in a day. Plus I dear say you were getting sick of spraying and rubbing all that dirt off. Looking forward to your next stage in the restoration of the car.

Good job to kick things off.

Those seats are so bloody comfortable looking, they remind me of the sierra cosworth leather Recaros as they have that really soft looking leather, now take out those seats and clean the car properly.😊

This going to be an interesting ride. That car looks so good because we live in a work of identicars

When i saw the screwdriver left in the Engine bay I thought... Mark from Hills Motorsport must have been servicing this! 😂

Great job on the interior and really interesting to follow a Late Brake Show barn find. Looking forward to seeing how you guys get on. Really impressed with how much still works after 18 years.

the ZR-1 is one tough bastard ,you will get it running in no time👍

It seems like this car was built well. The electronics have mostly stood the test of time, and cleaning is working wonders.

Great work

Looks like you struck gold there fella’s 👍 The interior is coming up a treat and the electrics are in amazing order considering how long it’s sat in a farm yard! Looking forward to the next episode 😆

Great episode. Cleaning the yellow leather in my Z4 has been one of the most challenging jobs so far on its restoration. Great work.

Good work boy's 💯

Great couple vids. I’ll stick around. I have a 93 C4 that needed a lot of love, and that is the fun !! Subscribed

I have owned at least one ZR-1 since 2002. Come on over to the ZR-1 net registry you won't find more Knowledge on C4 ZR-1s than there. Any issue you run into we have seen it. Also may of us have stashed spare parts. I have a short of a LT5 I woke up after years of sitting.

Watching from france , looking forward to following your progress 👍

Great video guys , just subscribed after I saw this on late brake show and thought it would be a interesting series to follow , what a lovely car it’s going to be can’t wait for the next one , good luck guys 👍👍

Really interesting project on a very interesting car that deserves to be put right

It will be stunning when done. I have a 90 in the same colour combo that I am working on. A million electrical faults on mine or so it feels. Good luck with the resurrection. Rock Auto is a good place to look for spares or any of the guys on the Zr-1 net registry.

this is so fun! love seeing the twin bro of my ZR1 come back from the dead! Not many Black over grey int made out of the 6939 produced. awesome find! (btw get 16 new injectors while that Plenum is off) We are watchin’!

Amazing work on the interior. You must be buzzing on how it came out

Looking good already. Interior has come up really well underneath all that biohazard ☣☢ You've gained a ton of subscribers overnight 😊
