I am hoping someone out there can recommend a place to get some auto body repair done on my 1986 951. I was in a front end collision so the front bumper/headlights/etc and driver side fender are pretty much garbage. The car still runs great and nothing is leaking so I am hoping no vital components such as the radiator or inter-cooler were damaged. Now I have to get the car repaired and I am trying to find a good place in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, does anyone have any suggestions? Also, I know this car isn't an Enzo or anything exotic, but it is a much rarer car than say a Honda Accord, does that mean just taking to any old shop that has good recommendations for 'normal' cars is not a good idea? Or would any shop be able to repair my 951? Are there certifications I should ask about? This is the first (and hopefully last) accident I have ever had in a somewhat unique car so I am just hoping some helpful Rennlisters can help me out here!

Thanks!

I would recommend Sears Imported Autos body shop in Minnetonka. They specialize in Luxury vehicles (BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, and Lexus) and will use quality paint. They will not be the cheapest but it will be good. Only place I will take my car. If I recall they do Carousel Porsche/Audi's bodywork.

The local club is Nordstern -- www.nordstern.org -- and many of them recommend Raymond Auto Body.

good luck with it
