This page contains links to write ups & photographs of the work I have done, am doing or are planning to do. If you do find any of it helpful, let me know. Please note that I am not a mechanic, far from it, so I’m only making this information available for entertainment purposes. Consult your mechanic (if you can find one who wants to work on a 50+ year old car) before starting any work.
