I was hoping that you guys could offer some advice:
I have a friend with a 73 914 in Bronxville, NY (just north of the city). I was hoping you'd recommend a good shop to handle the restoration. Money is not a deciding issue, but it would help if the costs could be kept reasonable. I don't think he needs those guys in new jersey that interview people or whatever before working on their cars. Thanks for the help. Jgordon '89 Carrera 3.2 (I know, I know) |

If you want to take it to someone that knows what he is doing, take it to our own Racer Chris at Tangerine Racing.
His shop is about 2 hours from Bronxville. |

Thanks for the replies. Is Deman motorsports good with 914s? I just know them for 911s.
I'll check both of these leads. Any other thoughts? Jgordon '89 Carrera 3.2 |

You could send it north of the border to my buddy at Mike's 914's in Ontario.
Good work, labour at .75 cents on the dollar. |

QUOTE don't think he needs those guys in new jersey that interview people or whatever before working on their cars. I think that is an excellent idea....doing restorations is nothing at all like taking your car in to get the something fixed such as a new starter...pretty much "by the book" with the chance of "gotchas" pretty low....set a price and 90% of the time all jobs will make money.....everyones description or version of restoration is entirely different....communication before and during a job like this is very important for all parties involved (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
