Hey all, I been on the list for a while, but unfortunately my car hasn't been running for a while either. Well it is time, it is time for the engine to be rebuilt (was once before, but mechanic screwed me), time to fix that rust (fender rust, and surface rust else where). The only problem is that I am very scared to take it too the wrong shop. I have been screwed over very bad before, and I don't want it to happen again, especially since I am having bodywork done. The other problem is I live in Virginia (US). I need advice of people that have gone through this process of dealing with body shops and mechanics. I think I have found a place for the mechanics, but I have never dealt with body shops. I really want this to go as smooth as possible, so I can make it to the Type 3 show!! If anybody has any small advice or great shops they have used please let me know. A little about the car, 69 fastback, stock FI 1600, fender rust, and with out taking anything off body looks to be in great shape (no rust), does need a new paint job, can hold off on the interior work. I would be willing to buy a turnkey engine, really what the car to be a daily driver. Thanks again for the advice. Grant __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
