Book Reviews of VW Beetle & Transporter: Restoration Manual

Book Review: A Great Authoritative Technical Manual!!
Summary: 5 Stars

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!
