Hello,
I am looking for an individual or shop to install a front and rear suspension on a 76. I have the front inserts, rear shocks (Bilstein) and Weltmeister 100# springs. I also have the rear sway bar drop link bushings. I have been quoted $450.00 for the install plus $200.00 for an alignment from one of the local shops here in town. I think that is overpriced. I would really like to find an experienced 914 individual that would like to make some money. If anyone can help or knows someone that can, please give them my email. I am ready now, but can wait a couple weeks if needed. Woodone337@gmail.com Thanks, Scott |

Clay Perrine is in the DWF area... he's ASE certified.
Do you just need these parts replaced? Most of this can be done with hand-tools... except for the torquing. |

I don't have the knowledge yet to do this install on my own, but would like to watch and learn. I have heard good things about Clay, I might have even spoke to him once. Not sure. Any other recommendations? |

QUOTE(WoodOne337 @ Jan 12 2008, 05:26 PM) Any other recommendations? Wes Hildreth at H&H in Plano. He does great work and has a ton of experience. He works at his own pace though, so I hope the car is not your daily driver. |

I passed your email along to Rich Lambert in Ft. Worth
He does awesome work, mostly race cars, and is the most knowledgable person on Porsches that I know. |

You rang?
I can take a look at the car one Sunday, or you can bring it to Zims where I can work on it on a Saturday. |
