Re: Tips/Tricks/Advice for first time resto
Did anyone mention take more pictures yet? I took 400, should have taken 1200-1600.
Here's one tip. I bought an EyeFi card and a cheap underwater digital camera with fixed focus. It takes great pictures. And its waterproof, so you can get it dirty and wash it.
The EyeFi card syncs the pictures to a folder on the PC every day, so after I was done in the shop the photos were already on my PC, and I could name obvious stuff ("Heater box", "Carb", etc). If you took 10 photos of the heater box, name them all Heater Box, it doesn't matter.
I also recommend having shelves organized so you know where to put parts as they come off (space will be at a premium).
I did mine WHILE I was also having my detached garage expanded. Not wise. I had to move everything twice, but then again it helped me know where everything was!
