Читать книгу How To Restore Your Volkswagen Beetle - Eric LeClair - Страница 5

DEDICATION

This guide is dedicated to the worldwide community of Beetle lovers. We are an odd bunch.

Today, most folks dream of driving whatever shiny, plastic, cup holder–filled model rolls off the factory floor next. It’s almost like cars are disposable, really. But that’s not us.

We stalk boneyards and dream of barn finds; always on the lookout for salvageable air-cooled relics.

We pour our blood and sweat into restoring sorely neglected vintage steel hulks that originally sold for pennies compared to their worth today.

May this guide help you through your first or next restoration project. You have a daunting task ahead of you; one that will be marked by sore muscles, some measure of puzzled head-scratching, and a few purchases that may make your wallet gasp. But in the end, you may very well find yourself wishing the project wasn’t over.

As you toil on this labor of love, may your Volkswagen dreams and memories keep you going, and may this book keep you on track. And when your project is complete, may you drive it with pride as you inspire the next generation.

P. S. Roger “00Dub” Moore, we miss you every damn day. We think you would have smiled about this book—and then hid when it came time to take your photo.
