Default Need Shop with Frame Machine for 968

Hi All!

I need to get my 968 Race Car to a reliable shop in the northeast (or Mid Atlantic) that can put it on a frame bench with the appropriate jig so I can check the front towers/horns and likely give it a few pulls and "tweaks" to bring her back to factory specs.

Previous owner hit on the front left may be the cause a bit downward move now showing as less than ideal caster adjustment range. A slight incident last week involving a tire caught under my front bumper at speed may have moved the other side up a bit.

Not a LOT of damage, kind of like a chiropractic adjustment for the race car...

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Pablo

Eurospecialties in Roanoke VA could easily take care of it for you.

One of the guys who works there had an off at VIR a few weeks ago in his 968 and it looks great now...
PM me for contact info if you want to drive that far...

Anyone with a Celette bench can rent the jigs if they don't already have them.

Good luck Pablo, I didn't know that you had bought CG's car.

Hi Tim! Charles' car re-born indeed. In GTS2 form though so a little heavier. I have to update the project's progress soon. Too much work getting in the way of play...

I am trying Jason! Unfortunately I had to fly to Hawaii on business and I am still here (I know - can't really complain!). But I don't return until May 12th. Hoping that I can take the car to the shop immediately thereafter. All I should need thereafter is a bumper from GT Racing and an Enkei wheel.... Definitely shooting to be there...!

Pablo,
We have lots of experience with these cars.
Please call and ask for Dave. I believe we can get your car in the shop and on the frame machine right away. If you prefer email, his direct address is bodyshop@bodymotion.com.
We are right off exit 105 on the GSP.
Thanks,
Ace

Thank you Ace. I will return to the East Coast on the 12th. In the meantime, I will email Dave with some pics and a general description.

Thanks again!
