Beetle Preserves

This is not your standard ‘How to restore your VW Beetle’ book. 

It’s also not a workshop manual. 

Aside from a basic rundown on the differences between various bug models through the years, there is a section on some things you can do to preserve or improve your bug. Mostly however, what the author has done is to review all the things she did to her bugs and put those ideas together as cheap, skillful, cheap, d.i.y, cheap means of enhancing your grocery-getter’s performance and handling.

Dollying the rest up is your baby. Most of the procedures described can be done by virtually anyone with the parts currently residing on their drive-to-work banger. The rest are low-budget and can be carried out with household or garage tools. All of these are things she did to one or more of the Beetles she owned.
