Anyone have experience with Lloyds in Toronto?

Long story short I've been trying to get my 930 cleaned up and back together with all the parts I've been collecting over the years. The ER coil over suspension and ER teflon a arm bushings have been a total pia, pass side A-arm mounts off by 8mm. it looks like somewhere in the car's previous like it had a pan replaced and now that I have it on the ground the track is biased to the driver side by 3-4 cm, the camber is maxed on the pass side and still positive even with decambered ball joints. PS A-arm mounts off by 8mm. DS has camber to spare. Looks little funny around the pass shock tower, not great looking welds on the pan and I'm about ready to part the whole crooked ass project out... I want to look into having the repair repaired by a capable shop and looking for a little feedback. Any input/insight/advise greatly appreciated. Not that kind of input Rawknees.

Jay knows his stuff. I’ve dealt with him and he has a ton of racing experience. Very knowledgeable.

He's got an awesome 934 tribute!

Jay certainly knows his stuff mechanically however I'm not sure he does chassis / structural work but I'm sure he can point you in the right direction.

His 934 tribute sold on BAT a few weeks ago.

Sounds like you need a good knowledgeable body shop to straighten your tub, not a racing mechanic, at this point. Be prepared for a $10k tab. IMHO
Good luck

Thanks fellas. We're a little light on the knowledgeable old Porsche body shops here in WNY and looking for my best options local or otherwise. The pictures show the disparity. Driver side camber plate is positioned pretty normal, camber plate on pass side is maxed out for camber. Formula 43 wheels are going on, the RH wheels are out.

Thanks but you're missing the point, this isn't no time for a couple diy plates and gauges. The tub is measurably off in front and no amount of JBweld or Rawknees 'Slip and Slide' lube is going to correct it. Although those toe in plates look pretty bad ass

After much internal and external debate and facing the reality that any proper suspension work would be impossible decided the car would need to go on a celette rack to be corrected. Dropped the engine in just about 4 hours (a new PR) and hauled it off to Karl Hens @Thoroughbred Motors in PA. The shop and it's contents are unreal and I got a quick tour of the personal collection in another warehouse, the amount of Pcar history that was imparted on me was overwhelming.

Best tool ever.
