Disclaimer
This Guide is not intended to be comprehensive, being limited to topics where we have some direct, and usually hands-on, experience. Our hope is to encourage owners to get to know their cars and decide which jobs they can tackle safely, without requiring professional assistance. In addition we have tried to restore our cars with their long-term use in mind, rather than simply repairing each fault as necessary. While some of the work described here was prompted by an obvious problem, many hours have been spent removing and restoring other items as they became accessible. This differs from the approaches taken in most commercial restorations which are designed to minimise the time spent fixing a single fault. While the methods described here gave good results on our cars, other cars with different histories may have additional challenges. If so, we would recommend consulting other users and online forums for additional advice before proceeding.
When in doubt, ‘Do No Harm’.
