Ok...I don't know if this is a cool thing to ask (don't want to step on any shop owners toes) Rather than just taking my car to a shop, I'm looking for a competent, knowledgable, mechanic/technician/engineer who would be willing to help me work on my car in my garage for various projects. Perhaps someone who is a currently employed Porsche technician who may be willing to moonlight on the side for an agreed upon hourly rate...help me actually finish a project for once! (I'm really good at taking things apart!!! not too good at putting them back together). I want it to be fun, casual and educational...I would feel better having someone who really knows their shit about these cars and offer their guidance as I am a complete newbie concerning the 914...
I'm in North Bay area...LMK if you are interested in this or know of anyone.
