Hi all,
Today, after three years of occasional weekend work, I spun my 914's new AC motor for the first time (with the back on jack stands). In theory, I could drive the car as soon as I re-register it and renew the insurance. It is only a theory because I live on a very steep hill. As part of the conversion, I beefed up the suspension, replaced the tie-rods, went to 911 brakes up front, replaced the master cylinder with a 911 version and added a front swaybar. Since, the last work I did like this was in 1984 on a '53 MG TD, I would like my work reviewed by a professional before I drive it - in fact, I am quite happy to pay for a flat bed truck to get the car there. So, I am looking for a mechanic near Pasadena, CA that will not be afraid of working with a car that has been significantly modified from stock. I would like them to:
The last couple of items I could do, but I am impatient to drive the car after all these years. Any recommendations? Thanks, - Randy |

Yes, Mike D (Hey Mike, how's it going !! The car is just as good of shape as it was the day it left the shop, thank you for a job well done) and Heeltoe were exact with everything...The timing of the job, and no shortcuts. Probably the most amazing thing they did to my car was ......when I brought it home, my neighbors and others said " hey, man, that car sounds better than it did when it (the engine) was in the other car !!!) I also like the fact they eliminated un-neccassary pieces, and went beyond the job by notifying me of other problems they noticed with my car, and if I would like for them to fix them for me (for a fair price, of course). If these guys can do what they did to my car, I trust that they can do anything they say they can.
