[.ca] Baja Bugs And Buggies (ISBN 0895861860)

The bible of off road buggies:
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!

Great guide for beginners and even for pros:
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...

Good, but dated:
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 and is a bit out of date.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.

Best VW beef-up book yet!:
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!

1st time rail rider:
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.
