A Great Authoritative Technical Manual!! (5) - I bought this book to research how to restore a Beetle. I was expecting this to be more like a typical Hane's manual. However, this book went a lot more in depth into the teardown and restoration than any other Hane's manual I ever dealt with before. As far as I am concerned, this is the best book on the subject of VW Beetle restoration. If you plan on doing anything from rebuilding the engine to a complete restoration from the ground-up, this is the book you need! Saving the Beetle (4) - A very well written book, as usual for Haynes, that is a good beginner's start for restoring vintage VW's. I would wish for a more detailed, hands-on techniques for welding as most restos require extensive body part replacement. Especially in the US Rustbelt where my cars came from. V What (3) - The book is pretty good. I was trying to get a color of original but all they give is name not the actual color. VW Beetle & Transporter: Restoration Manual (3) - The VW Beetle & Transporter: Restoration Manual wasn't for ME. good read (3) - I got what I needed but this book would have been so much better with color pictures or at least clearer at some stages. I hated the lack of info about the heating and cooling system on the later models especially the 1303 model. I would have given up the last few chapters of outdated hot rod info for a diagram or picture of the blower fan and dash board layout and repair in the 1303 but no such luck. |
