I'm a serial car rescuer. I buy needy projects, fix, finish or restore them, and then sell them so I can do it again. Lather, rinse, repeat. I rarely do anything even similar twice in a row.
But since I need to learn the nitty-gritty on each new project as I go, I hunt down and join the best forum I can find for that particular vehicle. I don't just leech, I always try to contribute where I can. If the forum has a paid membership option, I do so since I'll be learning from it.
But I also ALWAYS post a build thread as I go. Not just for the current forum members to see, but a build thread is a great sales tool when the time comes. I just give potential buyers a link and they can follow my process all the way through. Forum build threads have sold several cars for me.
So I have recent experience in half a dozen or more car forums. This is a good one, I'll agree. I do get tired of getting subscription notices of new posts in this forum only to find they are more FB finds, but I'll get over it.
