Pete,
I'll try and dig up some pictures of the work that Yun did. He's well known among the hot-rod guys in Fresno but has done many Porsches too. He sometimes gets busy but when I was there about 2 months ago he had cleared up his backlog. You won't be disappointed in his work. He gives you an estimate and doesn't go over it. He metal finished every square inch of my car plus installed a new front clip, floor pans and right rear suspension mounting. He gave me an estimate of 7-10K I ended up paying 8K. Mike |

Only a small portion of the left front panel was damaged but by replacing the whole panel there was no ugly seam.

Bodyshop #2 agreed to take my car. I have high hopes but have been disappointed before. If anything goes wrong Yun's my man. It's clear from the pictures he's a craftsman.
Can't wait to see your finished car! In a few months I'll have progress shots of my own. Thanks for the pics. Pete |
