May I suggest you make a careful list of the changes you've made now,
while it's fresh in your mind, and bequeath the list to the future owner
if you sell the car. For a couple of years after I sold my Chevy-engined
Jeepster, I'd get calls from the poor soul who bought it asking questions
like what on earth kind of car contributed the master cylinder, etc.
(What, you can't recognize a 56 Ford truck master cylinder? The pilot
bushing, well I made that -- just get you some oilite bronze...)
Who knows, if your memory is as bad as mine, the list may prove useful to
you in a few years.
