Mechanically the VW Beetle is very simple and is ideal for anyone who has some basic knowledge of how a car works. You should, however, never consider building a buggy without a good workshop manual (we can recommend the Haynes series of manuals).
In addition Volksmagic recommends ‘How to modify Volkswagen Beetle suspensions, brakes and chassis for high performance’ available through Veloce Publishing, for additional invaluable information.
It is also a good idea to join a local buggy club for assistance, encouragement and sharing of knowledge.
