Default Intro from down under

G'day all,

I have finally joined after being sent here so many times by Google. I live in southern Victoria, Australia in a town called leopold which is about 1 hour from Melbourne.
I have a 74 with a 75 clip that is a basket case at the moment and am looking forward to the rebuild. I have always wanted a C3 since my uncle used to pick me up from primary ( Junior ) school when I was a little tacker. I have set a couple of photo's of the project so far in my garage, so please have a look and any comments or suggestion are welcome.

Funny that your thread was down under as well. Found it at the very bottom of page one and it was the lone one without a comment from yours truly. So WELCOME ABOARD MATE!
