The books in the Everyday Modifications series from Crowood are designed to guide classic van and car owners through the workshop skills needed to make their vehicles easier to use and enjoy. Camper van enthusiast Rob Hawkins gives practical advice on modernizing and improving a VW Bay Window camper van. With over 700 colour photographs, the book provides step-by-step guides on how to fit a wide range of simple and more sophisicated upgrades to bring a Bay Window into the 21st century. With safety information throughout, the book covers: upgrading the interior – front bench seats, trimming panels, LED lighting, sound proofing and fitting a budget sound system; improving the ride quality – how to improve the suspension, change dampers, assess wheels and tyres and fit uprated anti-roll bars; better brakes – Bay Window brakes can be as good as a modern vehicle’s, and this book shows how to do it. Also covered is information on updating the electrics, engine preservation and upgrades including removing and rebuilding an engine.
Sobre el autor
Motoring journalist Rob Hawkins bought a VW Bay Window in 2010 and quickly turned it into a camper van for his family, enabling them to visit countries including France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. The work he completed on his van has helped him write his first book, Fitting a Camper Van Interior (Crowood), and spurred him onto writing this second practical book on modifications.
