Book Reviews of Porsche 911 : Guide to Purchase and DIY Restoration (Foulis Motoring Book)
Book Review: Porsche 911 Restoration
Summary: 2 Stars
Highly detailed with many photographs, this British-centered
manual mostly needs updating and a lot of fresh editing. For example:
1. Photos nowadays must be in color - why not?? Much detail is omitted in B&W, and that's why one employs photos.
2. Editing example: the caption mentioning the placement of the rear torsion bar cover is accompanied by a photo where this placement does not show; it was trimmed off.
3. Dismissive text: the chapter on Engines and Transmission does cover the engine, but dismisses transmissions with one line: leave that to the professional. I am a rank amateur, but having restored I know that there is much about a transmission that should at least be told to amateurs, capable of doing the work or not. There are too many instances of such short cuts.
4. UK centered. That's OK, but about 50% of all Porsches extant roll in the US, with the Continent holding a large balance. One might provide at least some lateral references. "Exclusive" in this case is not a compliment.
