Has anyone had experience with Classic Porsche Restoration in Easton, MD? My 914 has been sitting in my garage for 20+ years with frame damage from a leaking battery. Looks like where the strut(?) attaches to the frame is rusted and the car looks like it has a broken leg.
I am considering Classic Porsche Restoration to do the work. If you have other suggestions for restoration garages near eastern Virginia, please let me know. Thanks! |

I'm a fellow resident of the Commonwealth but have no experience with that particular shop. My unsolicited advice is that unless you have a strong sentimental connection to your 914, you'll come out WAY ahead financially to buy one that's had the hellhole addressed and is ready to drive, rather than undertake a long and expensive restoration. You'd probably still be ahead to buy from the West Coast (where low-rust 914s are plentiful) and have it shipped.
