Also Rich Bontempi at HPH - High Performance House in Redwood City.
He's old school & been working on 914s since the 1970's, has a humongous parts stash on-site in his 4 story warehouse, & his team knows 914s well. South Bay, but worth the drive for the service expertise, or just to see & buy needed parts. If I lived up there - that's where I'd go, & I've sourced parts from him, & will do so again I'm sure. Jeff Bowlsby probably knows other shops too (& if Marty is still working?), & can advise you on which shop is best for you in S'Rosa. PM him on here. Cheers!

Wes, Yes, but I thought that he still owns HPH & comes in some, but his crew have done much of the 914 etc. work for years. If so, then he's still available for his guys to ask on anything an old hand would know. Is Marty Yeaman still around & working at his shop in Palo Alto? He's another good one in the Bay Area familiar with 914s on the body & paint side. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

I'm not positive that he's still involved - so someone up there should check & update 914world -n but that's just what I'd heard from someone else up there. It would take Rich or whomever years to sell off his stock - it was jam packed. I have seen them selling stuff on evil-bay lately. I just wish it wasn't so far away, for me to source parts there, but I may whenever the COVID is under control, & I get my Westy van back to use for parts hauling!
