This book has a wide range of useful information.,
By A Customer
This review is from: VW Bus Custom Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
You get a taste of the history of the bus along with some pretty good photos of the various models. The book also gets into buying and restoring a bus. With information on customizing. I would recommend the book to someone who is interested in buying a bus, especially if they intend to restore or customize it.

This review is from: VW Bus Custom Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
a book that is very clearly laid out, points you to the right direction with regards to finding out the history and nature of your bus, camper etc.
Amazing photos that show you in close detail, things to look for in buying a bus or camper, how to look after the one you have - and points out how lucky you are to own one in today's market. cheers!

Disappointed,
By
This review is from: VW Bus Custom Handbook (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I bought a 68 Bus to restore, and needed some guidance. I expected, by the table of contents, to get it here. Rather, all this book really contained was an overview of the processes. While it showed photographs of some work being done, it did little to explain how to do it. Plus it skipped over such important issues as HOW to get rid of rust; HOW to apply bondo; HOW to use fiberglas: and on and on. The HOW TO is not in this book. As far as examples of different VW Busses, little there to stimulate the imagination or provide ideas for your projects. Better to go on the internet for help and information.
