I made some phone calls and it seems like Steves Auto Body might be the place to go. Mike Grisham reccommended them and they are very close to me. I spoke to them and they do work on 911's, but not as many 914's hopefully they work out.
Mike said that even painted bumpers are going to be hard to find. Do you guys have any ideas?
By the way, I have pictures, but I'm having trouble posting them.
It looks like a body shop estimate for fender repair, new bumper, some trunk repair, new bumper, valence, lenses, ect comes out to just over $5,000. Since I had an $8000 insurance policy with a $0 deductable and a $100 yearly insurance premium on the car I paid $2,000 for, I get to collect my $8000 check and spend it elsewhere.
I would never crash a car intentionally, especially one that I love so much, but I really made out on this accident.
The insurance company will not allow me to buy it back for liability reasons. Since I don't have a dealers licence to buy it at auctioon, I tipped off Mike Grishman who's company is now called Autosport Northeast that the car will be going to auction and where. Hopefully he will be nice to me when I come to him for parts.
By the way, if you've never been to a Porsche restoration shop you should go visit. I took a tour of Mike's inventory of spare parts. I was in awe. AutoAtlanta was a cool place to visit too, but this was my first time lookin at all the spare parts.
