Need a place to do a PPI near Philly
Can anyone recommend a place near Glen Mills, PA (just north of Philadelphia) to do a PPI on a mid-year 911? I'm a bit wary of possible rust on the chassis as well, so someone knowledgable on the pre-galvinized bodies would be great. It has a 3.2 DME engine swapped into it.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

I was recomended these guys for a carb rebuild, but I do not have any experience with them.
Try Ed Varga at Apcar Porsche. They're located on Rt. 611, about 5 miles south of Easton, in the village of Raubsville. Fred's the co-owner is also a very good early 911 guy. Apcar Phone 610-923-8102

Also try Don Galbraith Motors, 610-964-0477, they're in Devon not too far from where you're talking about. They've been around for ever and are also excellent. I have known Don for many years.

Dougherty's is one of the good guy's. Talk to Bill over there and he'll take care of you.
Don Galbraith, while there a long time, has recently raised their per hourly labor rates to $90.00.

Gary at Don's place is just one oneof the best around. I am sure you can get a fixed price on a PPI. Bill at Dougerty's is also a good choice.
