Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Car Bodywork Review
The Haynes Car Bodywork Repair manual is a refresher course for skilled bodyworkmen and essential for serious beginners. Although color pictures would improve the manual, the black and white photos are quite clear and reduce costs. I am 72 years old, quite skilled, and well read. As a proud American, I'm puzzled to so consistently find English publications so superior to American ones. This manual is one more example. It belongs in everyone's technical library.
