  I own a beautifully restored '66 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III. Looking to retire soon and would like to learn how to maintain it myself. I've searched for online or in-house courses but they're all geared toward today's computerized engines.
  Anyone have any leads for me?

  Last fall I took a class at the local BOCES on classic car restoration. While it was focused on body work and interiors, the folks in the class were all gearheads and had plenty of experience on the mechanical side. We helped each other with mechanical issues. Most of the students were 50+ and were repeat offenders, they kept taking the class with different projects each time to master a specific skill.

  Our British car club has monthly tech sessions where we get hands on demos in car maintenance. Next weekends session is suspensions, how to tell a trunnion from a ball joint.
