Well I have nothing but positive things to say for Tijuana paint and body shops. Got it's first wash today. Paint, bodywork and reupulstered for $800. Shot with Dupont Centari.

Dang! Look at that finish! Good stuff. And reupholstered too? Wall alright. I'll bet it even drives better.

It's worth driving 3000 miles.

I'll bet the body shops guys were grinning as much as you were when you picked it up!!?? They take a lot of pride in what they do.

Now that is a great looking paint job. Guess I'll be heading to Mexico for mine.

Looks great!!!!

[joe buckle]

What shop did you use? any address or phone? how long did you leave the car? did you buy the paint for them?

Thanks!

[mikey]

The shop was Los Panchos. I bought my own paint at Finish Master. Paint was single stage acrylic enamel, but the guys shot it with clear afterwards. Total turn around time was 1 week. Thats alot quicker than any place I know of in The US!!!

Awww... now your decrying all those myths of putting manure in the upholstry... guess that was only for tuck-and-roll jobs!
Just kidding - it looks great !!

[mikey]

Yes the Jambs and the trunks were shot too. Also, the rust spot under the corner of the front windshield was grinded out and a metal plate was welded in. Not just bondoed up. ALSO THANKS TO JOHN ROGERS FOR HIS TJ RECOMMENDATION !!!!

when you took it there - how "together" was it? Had you removed the bumpers, seals, lenses and all yourself before hand?

Thanks

[mikey]

I just dropped off the car as is, told him what I wanted done, gave him my paint, reducer, and catylist, and $120 deposit. Came back one week later.......POW.....it was done!

[mikester]

looks good, how did it look before?

What color is that?

[John Rogers]

That smooth black top looks goooood. Los Ponchos can also do things like wheel polishing, headliners for the Targa top, dash tops recovers, carpet, door panels, etc, etc, etc. You have to spell out in detial what you want and get prices for each item.

[mikey]

Hmmmm.........Now I can't get the rebuild thoughts out of my head with the 2 liter I have sitting in the garage!!! Where is a good machine shop in San Diego???

I'll bet we can get enough of us Right Coast folks together to fill up a car hauler if they want to do a load of cars. That's a great paint job!

So does this mean us 914 folks are all for NAFTA now?
