Any Porsche dismantler near Ottawa, Ontario ???
While investigating alignment problems on the S4 I bought three years ago, I noticed that the lower front table was for a pre 87 which is half an inch wider. I also found out that one of the PO had an accident and the front end is a bit off and wrinkled. Does anybody knows a dismantler near Ottawa, Ontario where I could get a front clip?
Thanks
Sylvain

Bonjour Sylvain,

I would recommend for comparison purposes if nothing else, check with Mark Anderson to compare...even with freight it might work out in your favour.
You can also have the dismantler of your choice do a search for you to determine where the closest option might be...a large proportion of them are networked now. You may get lucky. (there seems to be a fairly large population of 928s in the Montreal area).
Also, a good body/chassis shop may be able to correct the "wrinkle" to the point where it's not an issue..have you looked into that option?

...9Apart charges PREMIUM prices. Just to let you know. ....
They wanted $120 + delivery for a rad shroud. I got one off ebay for $40 and delivered to my home for a total cost of $78 from the US

Salut Sylvain,
I live in the Montreal Area and I can't think of any dismantler that would carry what you need. US certainly has a wider market. I know 928 international has used parts. Auto Atlanta too. There are more for sure...this community can help you with this. Shipping to Canada could be a killer but you can have it shipped to a forwarder south of the border like Freeport Forwarding, pick it up yourself and simply pay TPS+TVQ at the CDN customs (Champlain NY, 1/2mile south of the border station on Hwy 15.) http://www.freeportforwarding.com/. I use them a lot. It's 35 min south of Montreal. There may be something similar at Massena or 1000 Islands.
