FAQ 33

Question: I've bought a load of parts for a restoration, but I'm not sure where to start. Is there a good book?

Answer: I'm not the best resource for resto info, but there are good books. Start with anything written by Keith Seume. Search Amazon and Banes and Noble.

I subscribe to both VW magazines, and each one has at least one technical article every month.

My personal philosophy is to do as much work as possible and still keep my Bug running. Some things require removing the body (like heater channels). I also prefer to fix one problem at a time. It is less confusing with boxes of parts and loose wires.

I always recommend the Muir (Idiot's) book "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive". My review of that and other books are online at:
