Hello fellow Blendheads,
I decided to give a very quick but comprehensive overview of where to find (car)blueprints.
Very useful if you want to remodel a car or just practice of finishing a difficult project (in my case).
Now the most of you probably heard of/used one of the following links, but I think I have a few unique ones.
And one tip before I present the list: is an webpage down? Use the Internet Archive and Google Cache to try to search for them anyway.[INDENT=9]
Google[/INDENT]
Google Cache has no seperate website for stored content (cache), but just type the website in the search field, hit Enter and look for the arrow. Then select: In cache
The Internet Archive
More simple then Google:
Just type in the webadress(next to the Wayback Machine text) of the website which is down and simply access the latest date which was saved.
For example:
