Lynx II, hull # 4225

[chris vickery]

A project such as this, or any for that matter can be very overwhelming, especially for anyone new to the hobby.
I was encouraged from early on with my first MV restoration to consider the following;
Research, read, ask questions, visit others, check out like vehicles, take pictures, measurements, notes. Buy lots of Ziploc bags, a marker and some totes or sturdy cardboard boxes. Get shelving or have a storage area.
Buy whatever parts happen upon you along the way, set them aside for later.
Have patience, sometimes it is worth the wait.
Don't look at the project as a whole; divide it up into bite sized pieces. If you take an approach like this it is easier to comprehend and to avoid discouragement. On any project, I would divide it up into the main sub assemblies and then dissect each sub assembly as it's own project.
The hull, frame, engine, transmission, suspension, axles, brakes etc.
As you progress with each sub assembly set it aside on the shelf and go to the next. Before you know it there are a lot less little pieces left and only a few large ones to re-assemble.
On a project like this Lynx, don't take shortcuts- do it right the first time. It is a rare beast that deserves a top notch restoration. This will not only do justice to such a wonderful piece and make a great impression but will also add overall value once completed.
P.S. if it doesn't work out let me know and I'll gladly take it off your hands..
