First, I'd like to thank everyone on the list who has provided
invaluable advice on my car project. I originally thought the list
would be helpful but I never thought that it would provide so much
support and a sense of community. That being said... I have a dilemma.
Even before my purchase of my BugEye, I was reading books about LBC
restoration. Many were good but the best by far was "How toRestore
British Sports Cars" by Jay Lamm. Mr. Lamm makes a statement in the
book on page 14 that "restoring one (a LBC) from a mass of boxes is next
to impossible". This was the one piece of advice that I chose to ignore
in my project since I bought a BugEye that essentially was in pieces.
The crux of my question is: Is there a logical order of procedure when
restoring or refurbishing an LBC? I guess my mechanical skills are
better than my organizational skills since I keep having to take one
thing off to install another. In short, What first? the body? The
drivetrain? The suspension? Any philosophies on this out there?
Thanks Again.
