Workshop Manual for Corvette C3 - Where from ?

Greetings all,

I'm new to Corvettes and just purchased a neglected C3 that's not in
the best of shape... I'm situated in South Australia and I'm looking
for any recommendations of an American company that can supply me with
a Workshop manual and/or parts... The door seals, etc.. on this poor
thing are shot to hell and it needs some serious tender love 'n care
to bring it back up to speed... Any information on a company that can
ship a manual or parts to Australia would be gladly appreciated...

Thanks in Advance

Forgot to add, it's a 1980 T-Top

Thanks

www.zip-products.com

These would do it... I'd guess.
I am a fan of getting them on ebay, as long as it isn't an electical
component.
Also Corvette America has a link where you can get a free (book)
catalog posted to you.
I found the little blown apart illustrations in the book very
informative.

Best of luck to you, I love the 1980 C3 look.
Send me a picture sometime.

Maybe speak to some guys in your State, they maybe able to help
Martin Wadingham, Hans Peverelli(spelling sorry )
These are well known vette guys.

===========================================
I strongly suggest you drop 10 Bucks (US) and get an assembly manuel
also..

AND go to www.C3VR.com become a guest member (?? or whatever its
called)...a great site for asking C3 related questions AND getting
answers..the correct answers to boot...Forums for Engine/ electrical
etc.... I got so much info and help I am now a lifetime member ..and
I honestly have a hard time opening my wallet to join any organization

Lots of Luck..

Thanks All for the responses, I ordered the manuals from Ecklers but
still have to wait a month as they're currently out of stock of one of
the manuals that I'm after. Hopefully I can fix the essentials to get
the car through roadworthy before the manuals arrive...

Thanks again everyone for the responses.
