I got my VW start on the Old Beetles. I recently unearthed my old
yellow "Scientific
Publications" manual for the 36 & 40 H.P. Volkswagen Transporters.

That manual was dry reading for a 14 year old who generally "hated" reading.
Regardless, along with some VW edu-mu-cated adult help, we managed to replace
the "hockey stick" in the transaxle and rebuild the engine.
This being on a black '58 Bug. The engine lasted a little while at
best but I have
some great memories of that Beetle.
I eventually found out about the Muir books. Great reads. Loved the
illustrations!
I think I have a copy somewhere.

Books are great and all but having help via lists like this is great
and appreciated!
