Greetings from Vancouver Island B.C. Been a lurker here for some time so thought it was time for an intro. I appreciate all of the knowledge that's shared so freely on the site. Purchased my '73 from a fellow who had lost interest and decided he was more of an english car guy. The car was about 40 hours from being finished. Had a set of Cromadoras, a Pininfarina hardtop in need of restoration, a new Robbins top in a box. Body and paint was done, most of the upholstery. New shocks and springs and a bunch of spare parts. I'm having a blast driving this thing. Hope my attempt to post a picture is successful.

Hi and welcome Dave.
Nice 73 (love the Cromas!)
Drive it and enjoy your "Italian Icon".

Re: Greetings from Vancouver Island
Thanks Dan. I only wish we had more tire choice in 13"
Thanks Bruce. Yes i've learned a lot from this forum and gotten a lot of ideas. Perhaps we'll meet up for coffee some time.
