Joji, welcome to the group. Take pictures along the process, it is always nice to document the progress of a restoration project. Try to get the Clymers manual if you don't have it. I tried to send you a copy but it is too big. I cannot remember the link from where I got it, but I am sure the others guys do remember.
Keep us posted about your work, Javier.
