Mark VII - Another journey begins
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2012 9:46 pm
I picked up a Mark VII Sunday and will be refurbing it and will post pix etc as it goes. I like MickyD's index at the top of his journey(s) and will do the same here. I will split it into different threads as each major area is undertaken(so as to not create a humongous thread).
A few words about how I intend for this 'collection' to be used. One can begin from this thread and link to each of the 'sub' threads. Clicking on the 'return' arrow will bring you back to this 'top' thread. Using the 'close tab' function avoids the creation of a bunch of extra tabs. The link to this thread at the bottom of each 'sub' thread is intended to point here for those who encountered the 'sub' thread by other paths(search function etc.)
I am creating a second 'master' thread for the reassembly of the Mark VII.
