Default Va shop to weld up my coolant fittings

You guys know anyone here in VA or close to VA that can fix up my coolant fittings?

Also need a good alignment and possibly a diff.

I spoke with ASG and have heard good things about Intersport but neither shop is welding the fittings.

Thanks!

Goldcrest near Atlanta did my fittings. They're a full race shop and have done lots of these. THey were also building two Caymans when I picked my car up.

I have a great guy in Greensboro, NC that will be happy to do it. He may even come get your car on a flatbed for a nominal fee. He did a great job on mine.
Let me know if you want any additional info.

Not a soul here that I would trust with a Radio Flyer Wagon. I'm in central VA.

Fritz - I thought you sold 6GT3?

+1 on Goldcrest. Call Steve - he used to meet me part of the way and just charge for gas for their truck. Very accommodating and extremely knowledgeable.

I'll look into Goldcrest and Pill pusher I'll PM you for info because NC is much closer.

I tried to give the 6 away but nobody wanted it so for now I'm hanging onto it which is probably not a bad move because the values are getting a little crazy.

Lutzo Kovasyk in Virginia Beach just completed work on a 996 TT. He removed the engine and had the fittings welded by a local machine shop I think. If you want to speak with him 757-270-8615 or lmnmotorsports@verizon.com . He knows his stuff. And he knows the transmissions backwards and forwards. He put a Guard LSD in my Carrera H car and he has replaced several gears and synchros over the years. He also wire tied the pins in each gear so they cannot fall out. Finally, he is great at set up with alignment and corner balancing with wires etc...no machine allignement.

I've heard that name with nothing negative attached.

HE may work on the Radio Flyer (and more).

Thanks for all the help and I'll get someone to knock this stuff out before spring so I can exercise this poor neglected car.

Charlie Murphy won't do it ? I find that very hard to believe. Also Billy at Performance auto works at Summit Point has done it too.
