I was wondering if anyone has found a book they like showing the restoration process for a Bug. Of course I have John Muir's amazing book, but that's more of a guide for general upkeep. I looked on Amazon, and there are literally dozens, so before I buy one I thought I'd ask. I'm looking (if one is available) for a book that really covers it all-floors, electrical, body repair, etc. Thanks for any help!

I’ve never seen a comprehensive book that covers everything about restoring an old VW. To be honest, it would be a very lengthy book, especially with accompanying photos.

The super beetle handbook in the upper right hand corner is pretty comprehensive..... :D

Vamram, what is the name of that Super Beetle book in the top right corner?

Thank you, Sir! I just ordered it.

The silver one next to it is good as well but doesn't have super beetle specific info. Better color pics though, and covers the Mexican bug to 2003 as well. I think the title is How to Restore a Volkswagen Beetle.

I like this one:

Tyler, J., How to Restore Volkswagen Beetle, (Veloce Publishing: Dorchester), 2004.

Amazon has it: https://www.amazon.com/Restore-Volkswagen-Beetle-step-step/dp/1845849469
