Books : The Volkswagen Super Beetle Handbook HP1483: A Restoration Guide For 1971-1974 ModelsIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - Very interesting, but wish photos weren't all B&WHaving just bought my first Super Beetle, I thought this book would be a good place to see what it takes to restore one. The step-by-step descriptions and numerous photos are great, but the photos would have been more helpful if they had been in color. In some sections, it's difficult to see what parts are being referred to. But I am not a mechanic, and don't have any experience working on cars, so this probably wouldn't be a problem for someone who's accustomed to what they're looking at in the engine compartment and underside. Rating:  - An excellent guide to restore your Beetle!If you followed the restoration of Ryan Price's 1971 Super Beetle in VWT, then you know what this book is all about. The Volkswagen Super Beetle Handbook is a Restoration Guide for 1971-1974 Models that is made up of the articles that were published in VW Trends magazine under the name of Super Project '71. Those articles were a turning point for the magazine and made it more popular than ever. No longer was the Super Beetle being shunned, instead it was being featured. Super Beetle owners worldwide rejoiced. More than just a collection of articles, this guide is packed with pictures and information that cannot be found anywhere else.
