Truly amazing craft. If you're 15 - you can use that book + rec.autos.makers.vw.aircooled and drop the engine yourself; replace the clutch yourself; find the distributor drive shaft that was installed backwards and got you the car for $600 in the first place ... At least that's my story. Aircooled VWs are so simple. That book was such a good companion, down to the first part which explains "front is front, up is up, back is back..." complete with a diagram. When upside-down & greasy, knowing exactly what the author means by "reach to the upper left of the engine" is important.
