Critics Review

“Aimed at practical enthusiasts, this freshly-updated book is devoted to modifying the suspension, brakes and chassis of the venerable VW Bus (Type 2 to modern incarnations). It contains essential information on using aftermarket parts, based on the practical experience of specialist VW mechanics and tuning shops. There’s also a guide to VW Bus chassis numbers, and gearbox references.” - Practical Classics “The first edition of James’ book was way ahead of its time and, given the dramatic increase in the popularity of performance buses and in technology, this completely re-vamped edition is a mist have guide to what’s possible and why, how to do it, and what sorts of kits/parts are available. This book will appeal to both hardcore, hands on enthusiasts and to anyone wanting to know more about the kinds of modifications possible.” - Volkswagen Camper
