Default Start by looking at other peoples restorations

I’d start if you have not already done so by visiting the several different Web Pages that have been done by different members of our little band that show what they have gone through. Here are a few of the ones that have come up on MLU to start with-

Ok guys what are some of the others that touch on restoration?
There are something over 500 posts on restoration on MLU from the past.

One other thought when I started out on my HUP I did a running restoration. Meaning that I got it road worthy in the shortest possible time and started to enjoy driving it. I’ve had done complete restorations on antique cars before where I did not get to drive them until they were all done, I’ve got one that remains unfinished after 30 years. But the HUP has been driven and enjoyed almost every month for 28 years. Now after nearly 30 years of running my HUP is ready to be restored again, but I am really reluctant to take it apart because it is such a blast to drive. But now with two other CMPs maybe it is OK.
