I am making a binder for all of the things I do with my bird. When i bought the car I got an envelope full of reciepts but no real info on why or what the parts are for. The reciepts from the 80's were hand written and used only part numbers. Kinda hard to look at and understand.

Since I have gotten the car I am working on a binder that has sections. So far I have a PHS docs tab, old receipts tab (one day I will catalog them all), new receipts tab, tech notes tab for rear end numbers, cam #, part numbers on consumables (filters, belts, oil changes, gaskets) and thinking of making a journal area from things noted about the car, be it issues that arise, or things done to it that may not have reciepts (like added ground lead, or prepped and painted trunk area.)

I did this with my 99 F-150 when I got it new and it was nice to be able to look back and see exactly when I did brakes or something. But it was a notebook with just date, mileage, work done, parts used ect...but it was all hand written.

Has anyone made a template for excel to be able to log info about work done. I thought it might be neat to have pages for work done, replaced parts log, receipt logs, work logs, reason why work was done, end result, ect

How have you all documented what you have done. I am trying to stay electronic (excel) so the binder can be updated as the years go buy, with hard copies of all for longevity
