Classic Car Restoration: The Complete Step-by-step Guide by Lindsay Porter
This guide to the restoration of classic cars shows readers what to look for when buying a car as well as tricks of the trade and practical advice on tools, equipment, bodywork repairs and electrical component overhaul, as well as interior trim renewal. All aspects of car restoration are described and illustrated with step-by-step photographs, with guidelines on tools and equipment: what to buy, how to use them and the safety precautions to be observed. Six chapters, divided into nearly 60 separate sections, cover every aspect of classic car ownership, from buying, getting through the MOT, welding, panel beating, chassis repairs, paintwork, rust proofing, engine removal and stripdown, suspension overhaul, braking systems, tyres, interiors, dashboard and headlamps.
