914 Bodyshell Alignment

Post by monoposto »

Hi,

I am looking for recommendations of a good body repair company who can straighten the bodyshell on my 914. Unfortunately the car has has a slight front end hit which has moved the screen and resulted in the targa not fitting correctly. I have tried all of the normal places who repair modern vehicles but none see to be interested in an older car so am hoping the members here have some recommendations/suggestions of a classic repair shop. I am situated in the South East but can look to transportation if there are no local places.

Hoping you can assist

Many thanks

Lee

Hmm, that's not something I'd want to publicise these days! :lol:
