Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
All the talk among the big car makers these days is of the "World Car', the mythical beast that will appeal to Americans, Europeans, Asians and Africans alike, a car that can be made in such huge quantities that development costs can be spread widely, making it as in expensive as possible. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book before you buy the car!, 20 Feb 2001
This review is from: VW Beetle and Transporter Restoration Manual (Haynes Restoration Manuals) (Hardcover)
This book is a must for anyone considering buying an old classic VW (Beetle/ Van) It takes you through everything from the history of VW to finding the right vehicle, to a full restoration including spraying. This book is not written as a manual for the DIY mechanic, it is an illustrated step by step guide to fully restoring the vehicle. Its topics include, Bodywork, Interior and trim, mechanical components, modifications, Buggies and Bajas and tools required for the job. This book has already saved me a lot of money, I was able to use my knowledge to barter with the seller saving me a considerable amount when buying my Beetle, also when getting prices for work to be done the garages were not able to blind me with science and add extra onto the bill for my ignorance! It turned out that I knew more about the car than some of the welders that I went to see! After reading this book I feel quite confident that I will be able to tackle some of the jobs myself. I am quite looking forward to it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good,but..., 20 Dec 2011
This review is from: VW Beetle and Transporter Restoration Manual (Haynes Restoration Manuals) (Hardcover)
Brought this book as a present for my dad, came on time and in good condition. The only thing is, to me, it is very much black and white with small writing so i find it a bit boring, but has everything in. Didnt know to buy this or the haynes mannual.
