Restoration Book
hey all.
as always im looking for a bit of help/advice. im trying to restore an 88 mini and was on the search for a book to help me along the way.
i have the haynes manual for repairing of mini's but would like to get a book that deals directally with restoration.
i have found "Mini Restoration Manual (Haynes Resto Series) (Hardcover) by Lindsay Porter" but would like to know:
Is it worth buying?
Will it be much help?
Does it give good detail?
Are there any better books/DVD's available?
Thanks,
Eanna
