Nice family history on the car. Find yourself a good mechanic that is familiar with these cars. Getting your oil changed at Pep Boys makes me cringe. Over torquing the bolt on the oil sump screen or striping the drain plug bolt is a nightmare waiting to happen, remember the case is aluminum. Young mechanics graduating vocational schools today have no idea what a set of points or a condenser is!

Greetings and welcome. Tons of info available here using the search function. This link usually makes it easier: http://tiny.cc/wqt0wz
And as Ian said above - watch his videos. They're really well done and even if you're not looking to do a specific procedure, it's just good general knowledge. |

Sorry for you and your spouse's loss. I'm glad you have stewardship of his car. Sounds like it was special to him.
I have no experience with PorBoys, but if you need someone closer to home I'd recommend Eason Auto. If I run into something I can't handle myself that's where I go. https://www.easonauto.com/ |

I'll add some better pictures when I have the chance to really get in to it, but hopefully here's a good start.

Nice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
It looks like you are way ahead in the game. Maintenance rather than restoration. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Glad the car has a special place in the family. Looks like a great car. The body color bumpers, sail panel and targa bar give it a distinctive appearance and hint at its euro spec legacy. The yellow painted engine tin is a nice touch. Old school for sure. Learn as much as you can because you're going to get lots of questions. You'll have a blast with it!
