Who do you trust to work on your car? Need a "restoration shop".
Reason I ask is that we used to have this place in the DC metro area called Datsun Dynamic that was AWESOME with the Z cars. My Dad trusted them implicitly with the car. Well, they closed up shop in the not too distant past and I have NOBODY now that I would trust with the car. I am in the Raleigh area but have a car trailer that I transport my other cars to the track so I can haul a reasonable distance.
When I was changing the oil this past weekend I noticed that this car SHOWS it's age of 26 years. Even though it was meticulously taken care of and maintained flawlessly, there is no hiding the age. I need to really give this sucker a TOTAL overhaul (suspension bits, exhausst, etc.) except for the motor which only requires some minor work (seems there is a clogged or leaking injector).
Anyway, just looking for some suggestions on where I could take it and say "fix it all"!
While I would love to do alot of this stuff myself and have the ability I just don't have the time.
TIA
