McMark and Brandon are the best! They are moving into a new shop soon but can start the work now I would bet.
They did my Zambezi, great body work paint and rustoration. McMark can show you pics of the work on my car. I think the website is paintandmetal.com |

Ed....your car is beautiful man......I cannot believe that the car I picked up from McMark is "supposed" to be the same color as yours...I was afraid to walk past it while getting tools and such .....it's it going to be a ride to be proud of (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) |

Rob, I'd have to say yes....I questioned Mark for about 30 minutes on how he approaches his projects....all of my concerns had been answered, he's a young guy, but I think he's going to do well in this business..... |

Okay. Here is the deal. I have a complete front end that you can have for free if you want to come and cut it off. I and my son will help and supply all the saws you will need. If you want it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Allan,
Thank you for the generous offer. I think that I will need just the last 18 inches of the right side fender. But if the pound and paint guy says so I may be down there with a trailer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I have a roller here, but it seems too nice to carve. |

I could do it. It would probably take me a full day to do the fitting and welding. That whole fender would have to be painted. Brandon does the painting so I can't quote you a price on his work. But my guess from past experience would be that it would be about $400- $500 to cut and weld, and about $1000 for painting. Paint might be able to be had cheaper if we cut a few corners.
Brandon is available at 707-255-3308. This is his only line, so it's has a house type answering machine message. Just leave a message. I'm available at 707-738-5686. Yes we do CW type restorations. Those are the most fun. PaintAndMetal.com I can't wait for the premier of Ed's car coming Jan or Feb. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

those are some good numbers. i could afford the 500$ or so for the repair relatively easily and just primer it myself until i can afford repaint
it was hit! some lady pulled off to the side of the road at the fork on crow canyon going off in the direction of norris canyon, she came to a very brief stop and as i was beggining to pass her pulled right back on without looking, leaving me nowhere to go. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) as for the source of the fender, not quite sure yet. its been pretty depressing to see that car at least 3 times a day (at break) with its current wounds and not being able to drive it (headlights somewhat stuck). i was just about ready to do a big suspension and brake upgrade. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) the two insurance companies involved are in arbitration still and I havent heard anything in at least a month. anyways, this thread gives me some hope for possibly being able to have a whole 914 running and handling well sometime by mid-late 05. |

Thanks Mike. I am very pleased with the work Mark and Brandon have done. I was able to talk with them thoroughly about my car its needs and the project in great detail with them. It is so reassuring to talk to real enthusiasts whose primary objective is doing the work correctly. They are sensitive to pricing and clients needs and abilities.
I am eager to attend an event to show everyone the work they do. My sense is they will soon be backed up with work once the word spreads about the their work and cost. Mark also does repair and rebuilding. He will be doing the build on my 2270. |

Cool site. I dig the oval bug.
I didn't recognize the name at first! It'd be cool to have you take care of my Dad's car. I need to continue to pull it apart and then will need to figure out what to do with the bodywork. The tear down on my side might take awhile unless I get some volunteers. |

The bug has been and is going to be really fun. It crazy to work on a car with so much "original" sheet metal and parts available. At that stuff is so crazy cheap. Seems like every section of metal is only $20! Insanity.
Rob, just organize some "events". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Some free sodas and maybe a BBQ and you'll have a bare tub in no time! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |

I have to admit I'm not in the habit of giving anything away. That's because I sell parts for a living. Just FYI, a good, totally rust free used fender for that car is $650. So, if you can get one for free - that is the way to go.
