Average Rating:
 Rating:  - How to Restore and Modify Your Porsche 914 and 914/6A very poor quality copy of the original. You have the feeling that Motorbooks did this with a 16mm spy camera in the dead of night. It is, however, readable and therefore worth the money. Rating:  - Great book with lots of good info. A real eye openerGood info for the 914 lover. This is a must have book if you are looking to buy or just fix up a 914. Rating: - Must Have In Your 914 LibraryThere is some good "how to" information in the book but don't expect the book to open any magic doors for you. I consider this a good addition to your Porsche 914 library. The photos are very good and certainly good on a technical level. Porsche 914 owners are bound to find some information here that they did not know. The guys involved with this book are true 914 guys, reason enough to buy the book. Rating: - Only if you're a VW/Porsche fanatic and need every 914 book writtenThis book is not really a hands-on project book but it's quite entertaining! It's better than short magazine articles and perhaps better than the books being written on how to modify Hondas which are available these days. Basically it tells you the history of the 914, and gives examples of modified 914s, restoration, buying, etc. If you own a 914 or are planning to buy one, then you should get it but don't expect it to replace a workshop manual or parts book! Rating: - GeneralistIf you want a book to help you on how to restore your porsche 914, this book doesn't help you so much. Instead, you can buy a Haynes workshop manual that goes deeper into the details on all your porsche 914, and a haynes restorer manual on the specified subject (interior, engine, bodywork. Those will teach you something. Browse for similar items by category: Click to Display
