Hello Ladies and Gents, My name is Tuan Nguyen and I picked up "Pinky" a 1969 roadster 1600 yesterday. I am absolutely excited and filled with joy. I found 311s.org and there are so many resources here. I look forward to learning from everyone here and maybe contribute a few ideas as well.
I like to say thank you in advance.
She is rust free and straight and I purchased her from really nice Roadster people as well. <3 WOOOOT!

That is a nice Christmas present! Rust free makes life so much easier as well. Enjoy.

"Pinky", what a cute name!

Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.

Welcome Tuan,
Everyone will help you when the can and have a nice time with your 311.
Its a good hard car, so I can see, a new paint job and it looks great.
I see that a pair of window washers are missing?
Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall,torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Cool. She needs a few more things to be on the streets but I'll surely go when she's up and going. =)

Welcome...... It's not that we are that sharp.............just that we scour the CL ads on a daily basis.
Eagle Rock.......I know the area well.
Will trade guitars for roadsters, food, shelter, clothes, etc, etc.

There are usually some Roadsters there. I'll be there this week for sure. Come by even without the car. (I don't mean you have to walk, of course.
