My parents live in that area, my Dad is a 911 guy and from Maine. I am sure he could find a shop or look at something if you want. I will e-mail him about a shop.

That would be great Jay. Maybe he could just look at it for an opinion. The guy says that he had a P-car shop for 20 years and says he has done all the work the past 12 years of ownership. Car looks spotless too. Thanks.

I had mine done in Tampa- only 1.5 hours away. Was referred by Rennlisters to Chilly Performance 8021 Anderson Rd. Tampa, FL 33634 813-374-0201. Good job overall, though they did not check the heater. I can share the report I got back.

Tim, here are some opinions discussed previously. The first has a link to a shop in Sarasota. The rest of the recommendations seem to be mostly in Pinellas county.

One of the people mentioned, Bob Brooks is a Rennlister known as ViperBob but it's unclear to me from those discussions which shop he is at today. I hope it works out for you.

Tim,


Are you ready for another road trip? Are your bags packed already? Good luck with the purchase.

Send a PM to Viperbob. He lives in Tampa, is a good friend of mine and owns a race shop that work on Porsches. Anyway, he can certainly point you in a direction.
