Rating: - Best VW Rebuild Book
I had to drop and rebuild my 1979 VW bus engine and this was the perfect book for that job.The pictures are a great companion to the written instructions.There was a lot of info I learned that helped me look for some parts and the photos showed those parts in great detail.Great book and hopefully I'll never have to pick it up again.
