If you end up doign that members thread, I don't mind offering a mirror from my site, I could post the link in the forums. I'll have to see how usage goes though....

I appreciate the effort with the manual but the factory service manuals are available elsewhere online and I'm sure it takes you a while to scan every page (I know we scanned and printed out a whole manual and laminated it so the pages don't get greasy).

Can't remember the years exactly but i think there's a 73, 76 and 77 manual available to download. I believe they were taken from the zcarcreations cd version of the manuals so it's probably a breach of copyright but wouldn't they have breached copyright in the first place to make the cd's? Not sure how it all works. If someone can convince me that it's not illegal I can host them at my site or someone else can download and host them :)

I don't want to discourage you, I think it's a great idea, I just don't want you to waste your own time if it is already available.

Oh ps if you make a pdf from photoshop, you can set the compression of the pages in the save dialogue box. Even going from 'maximum compression' to 'high compression' makes a huge difference in file size.
