I had that book and used it extensively. I think I went through three copies of it due to use and me destroying it with my filthy hands. I had a 70.5 baja bug from age 14 until 21. I lived 8 miles from a town of 3,000 in Arkansas, and later moved even further out until it was 16 miles to town. I drove myself, two brothers, and a sister to school in that thing for 4 years. (93-97) Well, I say 4 years, but anyone who has owned an air cooled VW knows how often we had to take the bus. Walking ~2 miles down a dirt road to the highway bus stop isn't much fun. I'd probably do it all over again, too. Specifically because of that air cooled monstrosity I can fix anything, or at least I think I can. Fearless, if you will. I'd do it again for my kids if it wasn't for the fact that there are teenagers driving 400 HP Mustang 5.0s and Ford Excursions can be had used for $5,000. An air cooled VW is a death wish on today's roads.
