Ok, first round of bad news. Been having a lot of trouble even finding a local shop to work on a 914, any ideas in so cal are welcome.
A member here that does collision work did me a favor and took a quick look at some photos. The hit was hard enough to buckle both rear fenders as well as punch the rear panel in by one of the taillights. The resultant damage is inward and downward. For a correct pull it was recommended that a shop with a Celette bench and 914 fixtures do the work to pull out correctly. I’m looking for a good estimate to fix, for the insurance company, I’d rather not have it totaled. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Pat |
