Tips and Tricks

This Page is dedicated to Links I have found useful or relevant in building my Murtaya.  I am a first time car builder and will admit my knowledge of performance cars, their maintenance, restoration and assembly is sketchy to say the least.  So any online tutorials, demos, tips and tricks I find useful I will list here for other builders.

If you know of any good videos or tutorials drop me a link.
