Hi all,

I'm in the process of stripping down my 75 and looking for someone who can do body and paint. I'm near Half Moon Bay in the SF Bay Area. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

Thanks, Rob

They don't actually work on 914s or any older cars for that matter, they do insurance work on current cars.

The owner Scott has had a few 914 race cars over the years (not sure if he still does).

They've painted one of my 914s but didn't do a very good job. They used the wrong thinner for the paint (or so i was told).

Hi Jeff, NOT TRUE! I'm the only one left!

I've got Millions of Porsche parts. I'm doing a huge business on Ebay!

No Easy, No Parts Heaven Only HP House!

I'm the only Bay Area Supplier left! Over 45 years!

If someone comes in and wants to buy the whole thing, I'm open to that!

@JeffBowlsby

My comments above were about "Yeaman Auto Body" since the OP is looking for a body-shop.

HPH (Rich Bontempi) is not a body shop ...
