New owner in SoCal
Hello everyone. I am the proud new owner of a 67' SPL311. I'm fairly new to the roadster community and I look forward to any help or advice that is available. I'm planning on doing a frame off restoration with an SR20DET swap. I just picked the car up a few days ago and have spent most of my time cleaning and taking out the torn up vinyl from the inside. I expect it to be a lot of work, but I am definitely looking forward to the finished product.

Re: New owner in SoCal
Welcome, nothing like a blank canvas start to a project. Let us know if you are missing any odds and ends. Some of us have been known to be bit of a hoarder when it comes to old parts.
Definitely try to make it out to riverside for Chris's (SOCALROC) preSolvang barbq. A great opportunity for meet and greet, but also to see Kevin D's awesome SR20 installs.

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