Title: First time Build
Post by: callookaberdonian on December 07, 2011, 14:03:32 pm
Hi all I have been intrested in aircooled volkswagens for the last 20 years and I have finally done it looks like I have a 73 heading my way going for a Cal look style, hoping to build my first VW engine, have built others but never a Vw one :-\ Anyone know of some good books I can purchase on the Subject? Dont see many Aircooled VW's Here (aberdeen scotland) and I am hoping to have mine on the road street driven every day by summer! Wish me luck!  :)

I believe so Mr Russell Ritchie has some of the most amazing cars ever built! Not sure my first will be anywhere near as good but you gotta start somewhere  :)
