Another well written and profusely illustrated book on how to restore your bus. It covers the Microbus, Camper, Kombi and Transporter models from August 1967 to October 1979 but does not cover the rear bodywork of Pick-up models. At the very start of this book it states this is not a workshop manual but covers in great detail body and chassis repairs. After having passed (read) all the disclaimers there are 11 chapters that cover comprehensively all aspects of restoration. This book is really for the enthusiast and for a person that has both the confidence and ability to tackle projects that, in all honesty, would frighten the life out of me!
