Hello from Vancouver, BC!

Post by cyclemichael »

I just bought a 1981 Pininfarina as my first car. It needs some TLC and a little maintenance, but is wicked fun to do drive. Excited to learn more about just car repairs in general and stoked to get her running in tip top shape.

Well hi there... Was the car one from CL? Looked like there were several decent ones there.
There is a fellow in W Van selling some good parts if needed. Take a look at CL Vancouver.
N.Van has the best of Italy and France on Fathers day. Not a bad show if the weather cooperates.

Yeah, it was a Blue one off Craigslist. It was up for less than 24hours though as she was such a great deal! :D She looks and runs great. Needs some interior work and possibly some brake work but right now its great! I've been looking on CL for parts cars and emailing about parting out, as I don't need too many parts. Once my shop manual arrives I'll make a parts list.
Gonna have to do a bit of work for it to be "show ready" I think haha

The fellow in W Van has a decent consul and a new carpet kit. I was down there a week or so ago and had a look. Good fellow to deal with. . I have some red seats...
