Just starting stripping body off 1990 S series to restore chassis. Any pointers very welcome. Also very keen to get hands on a copy of the 'Bible'. Hope to hear news. Thanks.

I am about 2 weeks away from finishing the body off restoration of my S3. If you have any questions feel free to email me through my profile. My main advice would be to take photo's then if you can, take a camcorder and film all over the chassis, then take more photos. Label everything and then take more photo's. I have hundreds of photo's so if you get stuck give me a shout.
