I think it's a pretty good book. It's done in typical Practical Classics
style: pick a completely rotten car and restore it to presentable
condition. Along the way, the reader learns about restoration and major
maintenance aspects of the car.
The book has 98 pages, mostly color pictures, good explanations. Pretty
useful for doing major jobs yourself, like engine or gearbox rebuilding
and suspension overhaul.
'Practical Classics' is a best selling British magazine, which still comes
printed on dead trees. It's among my favourite bedsite literature.
