        << Just finished de-tarring (?) my car yesterday. Used a blowtorch.
Like a hot
         knife thru butter. Only started 1 small fire in the garage, but
since I had
         my water bottle close by, no damage! Luckily, my wife doesn't
venture down
         to the garage much late at night.
         
         Anyway, my question. I'm trying to do as much of the car as
possible by
         myself instead of farming work out, both because 1) I want to
learn; and 2)
         I'm cheap! As I took the rear lever-type shocks off of my car, I
thought to
         myself that if TRF/Moss/Rimmer/Victoria British sell reconditioned
shocks,
         they must be rebuilding them. And if they can rebuild them, why
can't I? But
         of course, none of these shops sell such kits. What is entailed in
         rebuilding an old shock? Are we talking about replacing rubber
bushings,
         just changing/adding shock oil, what? 
         
         Any advice would be welcome.
         
         Thanks.

        Bryan,

        I would probably have White Post, or Apple Hydraulics rebuild my
lever shocks.
        If they needed rebuilding that is....
