Insofar I have many articles (around 15 articles) on "light modification", my own term for DIY car project. Project that involves work around general maintenance with upgrading oil quality and also after market upgrade when it comes for parts replacements. There are two main streams of ideology with regards to classic car maintenance; first "Don't fix it if it ain't broken" and secondly "Going to the whole hog-way".
