Yay! New SPL owner. Best xmas ever!

Post by Ducer »

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. :smt003

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.

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?

Bring your car to the free weekly SuperCar Sunday car show 7-10A in Woodland Hills and you can meet the local owners.

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

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. :lol: )
