My name is Paul, I live in Bradenton Florida and have decided to take an
already nice Amphicar I have owned for 8 years and restore it. A bit
more rust than I can tolerate is starting and I want to get this before
it is major. The first step for me is to strip the car, sad in that is
is still running, and swimming without leaks. I know I will have to do
for the most part a complete brake system replacement for anything
ouside the body!
Well right now, step one is to find the best way to get a service
manual, and any after market books that will be of value. Could anyone
direct me to a simple shop manual that I know will be grease stained,
not an original, nor in plastic sleeves, a copy if legal is fine! If
anyone has a good idea please let me know. I am new to this system so I
do not really know how it works yet, first email out.
I am very fortunate, my father in law who ran much of VW and Porche's
mechanical area through the 60's, then had his own shop has decided he
wants us to do this, he loves seeing all the European parts on this car
he had never heard of. Well thank you in advance for any suggestions.
