windscreen woes

Post by Ignatzcatz »

Just back from the 49th 356 international meet in sunny Portugal. Indeed all was sunny apart from my windscreen that got smashed. I have located a replacement screen but I need a good guy to install it. Anybody have any recommendations for expert installers in the Southern area???

OMG where did they get that dreadful music emerge from, must have nicked it from the BBC, bang on!
I know what would happen if I tried to fit one myself, on the last push and thump the screen would split from corner to corner. I have fitted a couple in my past but that was Ford Anglia days and not £450 Porsche screen days so it's got to go to the experts.
The Portugal trip was awesome, my 2.8 engine was equally awesome but incredibly thirsty and v sorry, no pics cos I can't get the buggers to download. I understand there is about 700 on a facebook link somewhere. I shall be searching for that.
