Hi everyone, thanks for all the advice Ive been able to get even before becoming a member. My name is Travis and I just recently bought a 1984 Pininfarina. Ive found it while checking craigslist for project cars. The well used beauty was listed for $1000 and I walked away with the keys at $650. She's not much to look at right now, but the body is straight and the engine is good. With a little bit of love, and a lotta bit of work, she'll clean up well.
Cheers to everyone, get ready for some questions.

I live in Lake Forest down in Orange County. You will have to arrange to meet up with Ventura Ace, look for his posts here.

Sent him an email this morning actually. Hopefully we'll get a chance to talk. Funny you're from Lake Forrest, I grew up in Mission Viejo. My mom has been a waitress there at Mimi's Cafe for the last 15 years.

Re: Hello from CA
Hey Travis, welcome to the forum. Ace will no doubt get ahold of you, and I work in your area, so we'll have to get together. I'm looking forward to meeting you, and seeing your car.
