Excellent book on taking apart a 1980s era VW Golf and then putting it back together fully restored. Lots of helpful hints about evaluating a used Golf/Jetta to determine what needs to be done to restore it. Many helpful suggestions on what to look for during the 'taking apart' and 'putting back together' phases.
