Summary: Great guide for beginners and even for pros
Review: Excelente libro, de fácil lectura y comprensión aún para personas que no entienden inglés al 100%. Su valor está en que el autor comparte sus experiencias y dá consejos al interesado en construir un Baja Bug para propósitos reacreativos y de competencia. He mostrado este libro a mecánicos de competencia off-road aquí en Baja California Sur (donde el Off - Road es el deporte principal) y se muestran muy interesados en su revisión...

Summary: Good, but dated
Review: Hibbard really knows what he's talking about; he's raced and won off-road races, and built VW based races cars and buggies.He offers good advice, and it doesn't always involve throwing more money at the problem. On the downside, the book was written in 1983(?) and is a bit out of date. Obviously, the VW market has changed, and the book needs to be updated. Overall, it's a good book, and worth the money if you're building a Baja bug or a fairly stock (Class 11) racer.

Summary: Best VW beef-up book yet!
Review: I was very glad to find this book. It is straight forward and full of photographs look at how to beef-up a VW based bug or buggy. There are tons of tricks ad tips in here that aren't HIGH DOLLAR jobs. Simple and easy things to do during your build up that will save you hours trying to go back and fix things later. It should be called How to do it right the First time! It is one of few auto books with real knowledge in it that skips the technical jargon and flashy billet parts and suggests things that will work! You will be pleased with it wether you are building a Baja, Street Bug, Rail Buggy or Dune Buggy. The air cooled VW motor still rules an always will!

Summary: The bible of off road buggies
Review: The best VW book I have ever brought. If you off-road a buggy it is an essential buy. After 10 years of abusing buggies there is not one thing in this book I would disagree with.
A definate buy!

Summary: 1st time rail rider
Review: The book contains useful information drawn from experience. Good pictures. Not really a "Sandrail" book. Very good advice given by the author when talking about the engine. Would have liked to see more engine diagrams. The book is a bit dated-1983.

Summary: an awesome book for beginer or advanced baja mechanic\driver
Review: This book covered all the important parts of a Baja Bug. It had chapters on a certain part of the car instead of all the car in one small chapter. It had long chapters on front suspension, rear suspension, engine mods. and so on. This is a must read for people who love off-roading or don't respect baja bugs.

Summary: Good book, lots of info, but getting dated.
Review: This book is one of the few 'how-to' books available. It has the benefit of being written by an experienced racer (and fireman, so he's concerned with safety, not just going fast). It emphasizes the important parts of keeping a VW engine alive in rough conditions, prepping suspension, and gives the reader ideas on interior layout, lighting, and pros and cons of a variety of issues. Too bad it is getting dated; the massive changes in the past ten years for engines and suspensions are not included.
