That's a pretty broad request.  Can you be more specific about what you
intend to do and what resources you already have?  I could recommend some
manuals, etc., but that's a long list and you may already have them. 
Have you joined any clubs?  The Texas MG Register is active in Dallas and
there are a number of people that have done some involved restorations.
What's your experience?  Will you be doing all the work yourself or
farming it out?
