Resto Shop Recommendations

Any recommendations on shops in the East Coast to Mid West that can turn out a  quality restoration project on a schedule?

Show us what you have.  What’s your budget?  Do you already have some new parts for the restoration?  Do you want any modifications?  In my opinion, you need to budget 2x your original estimate - maybe more.

Can agree that Sports Car Restoration does great work.  I bought a windshield from them last year and got a shop tour!  Also can personally vouch for VSR1 in New Hampshire.  They worked on my 02 and have done a fantastic job.

Thanks for the responses. 

To answer JRocks question:

I have an early , matching number tii with a rebuilt trans, engine and diff. Also a 

desirable color combo

The metal work has been done and I have a mountain of NOS and refurbished parts and trim. I have been collesting parts for a few years. The one weak point is seating. I have been through two restorations including a rotisserie, windows out one. That took seven years and the world could end....

I know these cars won't fetch that kind of coin, but I would have given a left

_____ back in the day for this one.

The known shops are busy (years out).  Do I want to wait another 4-6 years?

Try AVA Restoration Services in Dublin NH.  No idea what his schedule looks like, but worth a shot.  Alex knows 2002’s extremely well.
