Craig,
Are you still working on the powder coated reinstall?
I'm considering doing my motor mount this weekend as my sister in law is moving in for the weekend.

its not bad just needs some TLCbut with 143,xxx kms and only paying out $6k its not a bad deal at all

Yup, still putting everything back in place. Just waiting on the small fuel injector gaskets to come in from Porsche...should be in today. I should have it running tomorrow.
PM me if you need a hand with the MM's...

I do most of my own work on my 924, but I have had Eurasia do some things I don't do, like seam weld front control arms, press in suspension bushings. Mike is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Karmac seems to be the cheapest to get parts through, and I have actually seen a few 928's sitting in front of their shop for sale over the years, so someone there at least has an interest in them. I live very close to Eurasia, so I rarely get to Karmac.

I've had great luck with Norden. Tao has done the work, and the guy knows his way around a 928. I don't mind paying good $$$ for good work, but I hate paying anything for crap.
I'll be up for a get together as soon as I get this silly supercharger project finished!

I took my car to Continental Auto Service in Calgary. Guys did a good job, the mechanic on my machine seemed to have good knowledge of 928's. Shop rates were good I believe around 75/hr(that was last year). I will be taking her back there this year for any service.
