It's been a long time since I owned my last 914 or any Porsche. My trusted resources have all disappeared. There are certain tasks, like swapping out a transmission and clutch, which I need done now, that I just don't feel comfortable doing. I'm doing a light restoration on a very clean '74 2.0. I bought a rebuilt transaxle to replace my worn out unit and I'm getting the cold shoulder from one shop in town that was my first choice. They don't want to install a coustomer's own parts.
Does anyone who lives in the Sacramento area have any options? Thank You, Jack |

I've not taken my car into them for any work, so take this with a grain of salt, but I have gone into their front office and "quizzed" them about repairs for my car and they gave good honest answers and they seem to know what they are talking about.
Downtown Sacramento is a bit closer to you than Napa, but I don't think you'll find anyone better than Original Customs based on 914 owner reviews. http://www.ipb-autosport.com/ |
