New member here, thank you for allowing me to join your group. I`m an old man @ 73. I have a 76 Laguna S3 that I ordered in Oct of 75, I received it in Dec 75. I`m in the process of a resurrection and plan on keeping the old girl forever.
I will post pictures when I figure out how to. Thank you, Jerry

These pictures were taken when the car was only a few months old. I replaced the rally wheels with some turbines but have put the original wheels back on.

Welcome, love the color. What is the current condition of her? It would not be 1976 without a CB antenna in the middle of the trunk! Lol

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I will start a post on my progress of trying to get the 76 back on the road again shortly. In 2002 I parked it even though it was running fine with 150,000 miles on it. The interior was there but worn. Everything still worked. The reason I parked it was: Three kids with two in collage and one in high school. My wife worked and I had two jobs. Keeping up six cars is tough. I started buying parts in 2020.

You have definitely come to the right place. I need to finish my Laguna and you are going to be a great inspiration. When you get a chance, start a thread in the build section. Everyone will follow along and help you out.
