OB's repair/rebuild history
and re-habilitation
... while in my custody.

This is a running list of the items on OB that have been overhauled, cleaned, repaired or replaced  to re-hab OB since 6/29/98.

< New > = brand new (NOS) 
  ( YB swap)  traded parts between OB and YB.

    OB got the best of both and the remainder was placed back on YB to keep YB road worthy. This was also a convenient time to inspect the true shape of YB's post-crash condition.

A few of the items have links to descriptions of little tricks I found in ways to perform some of these tasks. Some are links to sites with info on that task or hardware.
