I have a 1972 914 that hasn't been driven for a few years as the metal has been poorly patched over the years and needs a pretty healthy overhaul in order to be road ready again. I'm based in the twin cities in Minnesota and am hoping to find a recommendation for a shop in MN or western WI to bring my 914 to for a pretty serious structural overhaul.

I had plans on doing the work myself, but have two little guys that I'd rather be spending my time with at the moment.

Any advice or direction is helpful.

Thanks in advance!
