Hello all....I am a newby to this forum (1st post). I own a 1973 convertible Karmann Ghia already and I have a really good shop I use close by when I need one. I also have an opportunity to purchase a 1974 Porsche 914 from someone I know very well. The car has been in storage for quite some time and is in really good shape. My problem is my VW garage will not touch a Porsche 914. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good shop for these cars in the Dallas/Ft Worth area??? I do not want to buy the car if I do not have a good shop to take it to. I have dealt with some sorry shops before and that really sucks. I simply do not have the time or tools to do it all myself. Thanks for your help and advice!!

I suppose that they also refuse to work on the 411s, 412s & later buses & early Vanagons with the 2.0 engines too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Best not to use them then, try Zims in DFW area (Bedfortd) - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) http://www.allzim.com/ Go for that 74 & if it's a 2.0 - all the better for you!
