Finally restore properly! Expert literature on the topic of classic and vintage car restoration has been scarce until now. With "Restoring Like the Professionals," that's a thing of the past! The new volume in the "So it's done Special" series shows step by step, over 250 pages and with more than 2000 color photos, how to transform a rusty wreck into a valuable collector's item. Starting with tips for basic tasks like loosening stuck screws to more complex actions such as restoring a body, refurbishing upholstery and trim, as well as overhauling engines, chassis, and brakes, the authors detail how to do it correctly and with reasonable financial effort. This includes the removal of a wheel or gearbox bearing, a silent block or a shaft seal, as well as the overhaul of cylinder heads, connecting rods, and crankshafts, installation of pistons, valves, and valve seats, and adjustments.
