2.0 out of 5 stars An "OK" book for some technical data, June 30, 2000

By	Brian J. Jorgensen (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I was disappointed in this book from the start. It is clear to me that the author new alot about 02 cars and their restoration but i think the book was a poor effort. First off, there are not very many pictures and the ones they have look like a small child took them. There are more than a couple half page pictures that are completely out of focus and show the lack of care taken in assembling this book. Furthermore, he spends no time on any one subject. For instance, he wrote a paragraph on headliners, not going in to any detail on how to install them. So if you are looking for a book that covers how to install headliners, seat covers, carpets, wiring, convertable tops, door seals, etc, this is a poor book for you in my opinion. But if you want a book with a few handy specifications, a couple of tips , and a hand full of useless snapshots that must have been taken by a toddler, i would say this is an excellent book for you. If i could go back in time i certainly would find a better way to spend 30 bucks. I think that, keeping in mind that there are some usefull facts and specifications in the text, this book is worth about 10 to 15 bucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even hardened restorers of '02s can learn from this book, September 30, 1999

By A Customer

Brilliantly written. What Mike doesn't know about 02 restoration isn't worth knowing.
