Documenting your work

Has anyone actually slowed down enough to take pictures and document the changes they made to their cars?

I was reflecting on the things I still need to do to get mine up and running, and remembered something I planned to do with my car - slow down, take pictures and document everything I did to the TA. I had grand schemes of organizing the "poor mans resto" into a How-to booklet for anyone bringing a late third gen TA back to life. Of course that came about from knowing little and dreaming big.

Now I'm of the mindset to simply finish the damn thing before I blow it up. I just want to hear the engine come back to life. So consciously or unconsciously I didn't do what I planned, and probably missed my only(?) opportunity to document this kind of work.

Has anyone organized that kind of information? TGO has their tech section, however I havent come across a "Restoring your 1988 Trans Am - for Dummies" yet.

If so, maybe we can put into practice that "Projects" section we talked about in the News part of the forum.
