4.0 out of 5 stars
Full of bits and pieces,
By "kcaravel" (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 356 Porsche Technical and Restoration Guide (Paperback)
This book is a compilation how-to book. This has several detailed "articles" compiled from the 356 Registry auto club members and magazine editors. This book has very few illustrations (no photos) and really hits on some part/problems you may encounter. Some of the articles are priceless (floor pan restoration, for example). But this is NOT a complete step by step restoration manual for the 356. There certainly may be an article on all areas of the technical and restoration of the classic. I still refer to it first when I have a problem with my 356. But I would love a book with lots of photos and illustrations. I do recommend the book, it is required for a 356 owner. But it is a bit scattered and in some cases has conflicting opinons on some topics of repair.
2.0 out of 5 stars
scattered, incomplete,
This review is from: 356 Porsche Technical and Restoration Guide (Paperback)
I realize this is not intended to be a factory manual or a step-by-step guide but what I have found is that more often than not the information I am looking for is not in this book. Maybe you will get lucky and there is an article for a particular job in this book but it cannot serve as your primary resource. I have also found that if you can dig info out of this book it would have been faster and easier to use google.
