well, since i'm stuck indoors by the terrantial rain in paris, i've decided to write a bit.
first a poll for possible solutions:
on the 19th? of last month, i went up north to meet with a bunch of other 914's in a mountain run. my car had an unfortunate meeting with a patch of gravel, and subsequently a ditch on the side of the road. (i think there are aftermath pictures up on
www.roadglue.com, if not, randy will have to provide the links). final result, a chebby hauled me out of the hole, and the car drove the rest of the way with an exhaust leak, but everything else is fine. the frame, however, got tweeked. it got tweeked in the direction as if the car was stressed under 2 very heavy people sitting in the car. the door on the driver side sticks when i'm in the car, and is °almost° fine if no one's in the car. there are no °visible° warpage on the frame of the car, and the alignment didn't get screwed up.
now, are there any frame shops in the so cal area that people have dealt with that can stretch the car back to normal specs? (with out the price being astronomical) will the frame tend to go back to the tweeked shaped now that its been stressed once? the doors work fine if i have the car up in air by the two jack points on the sides of the car.
suggestions please, i've been in paris for almost 2 weeks, and there's no describing how much i miss my car, it's going to hurt even more when i finally get back and can't drive it
TIA,
Jeff
