New shop in Summerland, B.C.

what follows is a shameless plug............................

Well, finally taking the plunge. I'm opening a small shop in Summerland, open Jan first.

Mostly body repair, modification and restoration. Also whatever mechanical I feel comfortable doing. I'll have a flat deck trailer so Vancouver and Calgary are within range.

I'll post some pics and details as things move along. The website should be up by the first of January.

Wish me luck - Don.

Congrats Don,
Summerland just got a bit cooler! You did an awesome job on the 914 and now
I can push my next project to your shop when it's body time. (but I'll trailer it so I don't have a jammer)

Looks like you and the Mayans are starting something new.

Oh Ya, If you need some Hi-res pics of my green 914 for the site just say the word.

Best of Luck!

There are also 1/2 a dozen Targas sitting out here I bet Don is chomping at the bit to sink his teeth into... Including the ubiquitous 69 E...

Good Luck Don!

well............... to do cab conversions anyway . I'll work on them of course. as my wife keeps telling me, it's the customer's car, not mine.


sincere thanks to everyone for all the input and good wishes. I start moving in on the second and will post some pics by the weekend. my garage will be awfully empty with all my equipment at the shop. probably have to buy another car
