great photos and vivid detail
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I found this to be a very interesting and useful book. The refreshing British tendency to really rip a car down to its guts is evident here, with nice photos of the rusted pan being restored, for example. I especially liked the photo of the restorer bandaging his hand after cutting it on some sharp piece of the car; really shows the nitty-gritty of the restoration.The author's enthusiasm and passion for VW's, and his intelligence and wit, come through clearly. A charming and helpful addition to my VW library.
A lifesaver

A well written book which helps you through all those "I told you so" problems. Great solutions and advice. The best bit about this book was the fact that it acknowledged that restoration is not as easy and straightforward as it appears. The pages are fast becoming coated in grease!
