The complete and well illustrated restoration journal provides much more detailed information about the car and the process of bringing it back to the road, but this brief page gives a quick overview. The “offer” page includes things that I would do to improve the car. The menu to the right can be used to get more information on the features outline below. The restoration journal is searchable, and can be browsed in chronological order.
