Just a thought, but we don't seem to see so many technical & how-to articles these days.
I guess a lot of present owners either bought their cars in a restored state, or repaired them so long ago that details have misted.
Plus there's always the fear of sticking one's neck out and getting pooh-poohed by the many, many people who know better.
Nonetheless, there are still quite a few challenging restoration tasks which don't seem to have ever had a write-up (or did so long ago that I can't find them - in which case perhaps they are due for a re-print?) Fer instance, next year I have to tackle a sill replacement on a Box saloon - but I have yet to find a guide to walk me through the process. Likewise roof peak repair (I've just done mine, and not sure I'd hold it up as a beacon of excellence, but I've done it. Just wondering how I'd condense it into a 2-pager).
My basic point (if you've read this far) is that there are still challenging A7 tasks for which a handy reference guide has yet to be written...
