After twenty+ years without a VW bus, I just purchased an 85 Vanagon. Not entirely sure this is the van I want to stay with but it is a good platform to relearn the subtleties of the breed. Back before time we used the book "How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" by John Muir & Tosh Gregg as a basic guide. Of course, this won't help a waterboxer built fifteen years after the book was published. So a question: what is the best book? Also looking for a good source of small parts. I'm talking about silly things like window cranks, mirrors, bumper strips. --Chris McEwen vanagon@socratespress.com |
