Volkswagen's Golf (Rabbit) and Jetta models are popular and enduring cars. Well-known for their robustness and need for minimum maintenance, these vehicles often suffer from neglect by their owners. Restoration expert Lindsay Porter fills you in on VW history and development, tells you what to look for and what to avoid when buying an older model, and how to bring it back to first-class condition. Fully illustrated sequences guide you step-by-step through a mechanical overhaul and show you how to restore bodywork, interior and electrics. Includes soft-top mechanism replacement.
