Rarely do I do anything like this as far as giving or offering a lesser service than I am capable of and as I started to it evolved into little more of a challenge than I anticipated so I thought to capture it in the gallery.
No real purpose to say much more than that.It can be followed here and while it won't be a complete restore for reasons documented in the album it does show a different approach and some alternative solutions that might be interesting given the circumstances.

Updated and heading to the finish line.

Have not had a chance to update the album but it is almost finished.
Ran into some missing parts and other things you really do not expect on a shop out type job but it just furthered my philosophy that approaching something as a full on restoration is better mentally because outside of the cosmetics it can be tough to know where to start and where to stop.
