356 Registry, Inc. is the world's largest organization devoted to the first Porsches, built from 1948 to 1965. Founded in 1974, after thirty years the club has grown to over 7,500 members around the world. Its bi-monthly magazine 356 Registty, has published thousands of pages of technical articles on the mainte-
nance, repair, restoration and upkeep of these cars, and in this book are over 200 articles from ten years of publication, 1994 to 2003.
For the 356 owner, there are step-by-step instructions for everything from welding body sections to applying glove box flock. Electrical troubleshooting, carburetor tuning, upholstery, alignment and even air conditioning are covered in ten chapters. There are 470 photos, diagrams and illustrations accompanying the text, on glossy paper in a
large format making the book not only useful but easy to use
For the prospective 356 buyer, the book offers an insight into the many areas to inspect when considering a car: why are the brakes smoking? Why is the engine hanging down in back? What's involved in replacing the master cylinder? Is a big-bore kit good or bad? The knowledge in this book is a powerful tool to help you choose the right 356, and maintain it afterwards.
For the purist, there is much information on proper parts, correct configurations and the finest finishing touches. From tool kit components to four-cam engine metallurgy; from seat pleat placement to knob restoration, the details are here.
From deep inside the engine to the chrome latches on the convertible top, Porsche Technical and Restoration Guide covers all the bases and all the parts that work together to make your 356 the sweet-running, beautiful machine it was built to be.
