I have 914 4 1.7 that I want to restore and I am looking for reccomendations for someone or place near jacksonville that "Does a GOOD job" without raping you on the cost. The car is in pretty good shape all things considered. The body is in great shape with really only a few small rust bubbles, rusted out battery tray and minor rust at the jack points. The engine hasn't been run in 15 years. Here is a run down of what I want done.
Entire body sanded derusted and repainted preferably in the new porsche boxter Cobalt Blue Metallic mmmm nice... Engine REBUILT not just serviced I wish I could get a 2316 Annilator from Jake Raby but you know thats a little expensive the rebuild at a minimum should include but not be limited to the following I want the galley plugs drilled, tapped and plugged engine cleaned out shiney including the galleys new cam, larger valves and 911 style adjusters Brakes replaced with 911 or BMW calipers. Any structural fixes that might be needed or found if required. I currently have a bid in the works with autoatlanta but I would like to make sure I look at my other options. I feel autoatlanta knows what they heck they are doing with 914's but might be a little on the pricey side for what you are getting. Any help or tips would be appreciated. Thanks Swarm |

carr914 Thanks for the tip on Brumos.. I gave them a call and at first the gave me the cold sholder saying they couldn't give me reccomendations because of legal reasons.. and then he said they do restorations.. and I said cool who do I need to talk to and he said "but only for race 914's" then he magically changed and reccomended two shops here in town to do my work.
Precision Frame and Carriage OR Universal Body I'll check in with these. John |
