Thanks Anthony, there stuff looks really good, they have a lot of information posted about everything and that's helpful. I found a video on YouTube last night of a guy showing a complete build of the m96, it was great information.

The Pelican tech. articles are good, but don't be fooled into thinking they are the be all/end all. I would also recommend checking out as many sources of info as possible ; including here, Bently Manual, renntech, etc...Don't just take one and run with it, as mistakes tend to be very expensive

If you ever have a question about an article or something that relates to one of them, but we don't have info on the exact repair you can always comment on the bottom of the article and one of our techs might have additional input as well. But yes, Bentley is also a good investment and we are actually offering 10% off on their manuals currently. The forums are always a very great resource so don't be scared to ask questions. We are here if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Hello, Last night I was trying to read about your suspension overhaul repair page. Due to the pelican pop up slide thingy I can't read the page. That pelican gets in the way, I'm doing all on iPhone 5se

I'm going to order the parts I need from pelican and do this job myself. It's very straight forward and I've built And tunned same types of suspension but on a much smaller scale but the same.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it? I read somewhere else you said you are at the end of your budget. I'd focus on the things that don't work right now, my 2.

Thanks good advice, yes I'm at the end of my original budget, but I shoveled another 12k into budget last week

What's that 12K for?

Focus on getting the car running right and on the road. Then you can address other things over time.

Putting a lot of money in an upgraded suspension on a cab won't give you the same "bang for the buck" as it would on a coupe. So, save that task for later once you are driving and see if your driving style requires suspension mods.

Focus on the following:
1. Getting the car running, shifting and stopping right (don't forget to check the age of your tires)
2. Engine upgrades for reliability (slippery slope....)
3. Remaining issues (such as minor electrical issues)
4. Nice to haves such as suspension, cosmetic upgrades, etc.

Hey Bill. It's for tires, break work, and a few other loose ends. I'm hoping I have 10k left for a running left over budget for future maintenance

Hello I found a black hardtop. I like the two tone look. The top is black, my car is silver. What's your thoughts on this look. The pictures posted is the top that I'm considering.
