Good Mechanic/Garages in NJ, Looking to build out and finish or sell Options

[aturn]

Hello,

I live in central NJ...Westfield which is in Union County. I have a 95% orig. 1976, fully optioned (incl A/C) 914 with less than 50K orig. miles on it. Yes, it is currently driveable and always garaged. However, since it is silver, the typical crackling problem must have occured as the 1 former owner repainted sections of the car. I would like to have the car restored from an outward appearance while possibly having the engine built out. Does anyone know of a good mechanic and/or body shop that they would trust in my area? I am also considering a Raby engine build for more streetable power.

The car is in very nice shape, but I want it to be a bit more fun and better looking. "Fortunately," I have 3 young kids, incl. twin babies, and I do not have time to do any of the work myself nor would I want to jeopardize this rare year with amateur work. My only other thought would be to sell it if any of you were willing to pay the right price for the most collectible 4 cylindar year.

Please provide me with your thoughts, suggestions, etc. All will be appreciated. My direct email is aturnof@yahoo.com if you want to speak in private or get more involved in some maneer than in this forum.

Thank You,

Aaron T.
