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!!

Get the car and do it yourself! Rust is the only evil that's major to keeping you off the road, and it hides well to the untrained eye. Depends on how much restoration you want to do. Rebuild a car, or fix it up and drive. We'll walk you through most of all the repairs. If you want help with the inspection of what to look for in a 914, call out. We'll list a couple of hundred things to look out for, or someone might come out to look with you. Happy 914ing |
