Should have asked for that for Christmas instead of BBC parts.


Looking for an exploded view of how the body panels bolt together. Any alternative to TGB?

In this day of computers, smart phones and Ipads,I can not understand why reprinted manuals are so darned expensive. I would think that they would like to sell them instead of holding a person up

Not sure who is selling them for that much, but check eBay, the most they are listed for are $75 for print, $30 for CD ROM. You can also buy the shop manual for body illustrations, or there is a body parts book out there as well.

I downloaded the Green Book from a download link I found last year in a Google search from a car club in (maybe) Ohio. I tried again, but did not find it. Give it a shot.
