The book pulls no punches about how easy it isn't(!) to restore an old bug. But, it has lots of very good color pictures of real cars (not the pristine shots you get in shop manuals). And, the writer gives anecdotes about his experiences working on cars, what to look for in one, and when to walk away because it's likely hopeless. Sadly, his anecdotes are nowhere near as good as the Muir book. And, you really have to think twice because the entire book is written in British English (you'll be calling a wrench a "spanner" by the time you're through with it). Overall a very good purchase, even at the somewhat high price.

I was looking for a Beetle version of the rust repairs shown in such good detail in the "How to Restore Volkswagen Bus (Enthusiast's Restoration Manual) by Mark Paxton".This Beetle book does cover some of the same details but not nearly as much as I had hoped. I'll use the reconstruction techniques detailed in the VW Bus book coupled to the Beetle book.Still, worth the study/read. I have about a dozen books for my Beetle and Bus and the books combined cover just about everything a person would like to know about a ground up restoration. (I love books.)

I have several of Jim Tyler's car restoration books, he is the best with the color illustrations and detailed explanations.

Great resource. Love the color photos.

love the pictures and all info

A little pricey but a good thorough book in Beetles and restoration

While the writing can get a bit confusing at times (it has a lot of the english style words in it), this is a pretty good source for your beetle restoration. The pictures themselves are worth the price! A lot of times, I've found when restoring a car, it's MUCH easier to look at pictures rather than try to decipher what is written.I would recommend this book

Will come handy.

very useful so far, alot of detail

Not a disappointment. Very clear and helpful.

This book is a good guide to all kind o Volkswagen Beetle enthusists. Ilustrations a guided information are very usefull and helps during restoration. 5* book.

al waqs good
