Hello from Sydney, Australia

Post by 124spiderman »

Hi all
Our car is a '72 CS Spider (ex-USA) which I have finished converting to a "factory brochure" look.
Our next project is planning to turn another into a CSA Stradale Replica.
Look forward to coming back to this wbsite for a good look around and to meet many new friends.
BTW - We aussies down under had only the coupes, Fiat never made Spiders in RHD. Pity.
Ciao :D

Welcome to the club! Glad to hear about your Fiat, they should all have a good home like yours. You should find a lot of your Ausi mates on this site. You do all know eachother down there right?

Welcome to the forum. We just have to see pictures of your project!
You have company down under, and a few have done the RHD conversion.

It might be a long while before any replica pics make this website :roll: , in the meantime I've attached the only current pic of the CS that I have, I cannot seem to find any "Before" pics, :? they'll appear soon as they are buried in my pc somewhere. Watch this space :D

Welcome, Spiderman. Seems like a few Aussies are finding this site in recent times. Looking forward to seeing pics of both projects. A friend of mine recently prepared the body for a CSA replica, but sold it to buy a genuine CSA.

(PS there is a post on how to post pictures elsewhere on this site - but the short answer is the pics need to be hosted elsewhere and linked to this forum).

Cheers
