Subject:Volkswagen tool list for 1963-1967.(long)
From:Eric Oster
Date:Thu, 16 Feb 1995 16:10:12 -0800 (PST)

This will be somewhat organized how my shop manual has it organized.
I will also include at the end all the tools that Volkswagen thought
should be in every well-equipped shop. If there are any questions about
what these tools actually DO, (most are self-explaining.), then
email me, and I'll do my best. One thing: I DO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE ANY
OF THESE TOOLS!! NONE!! (But donations of items will be happily
accepted. :^) I'm not sure if this list will actually be of use to
anybody...
