Hey everyone,
After spending much time admiring/ shopping for a 2002, and lurking on this forum, I've finally taken the plunge and acquired my own project (a 74 Tii) that I've got a long road ahead of myself on.
To start out however, I'd like to get advice from this crew on top nominations for a body shop / painter than can be my partner in my body restoration. I'm about to embark on DIY replacement of some of the common problem panels (rockers, spare tire well) and rust spots, but want to get the body primed/painted by a professional.
Any top suggestions in the East Bay (read anywhere between Berkeley and Walnut Creek/Concord) for more of a "partnership" on restoration?
Obligatory shot of my project in the garage attached....
thanks!

Bay Area shop recommendations needed

Hi all - cross-posting from the Facebook BMW 2002 group per the suggestions from members there.
Hello community - long time reader, first time poster here. Hoping for suggestions from the group on great mechanics + paint/body references in and around the SF Bay region.
I have a challenging 1974 tii project which I need some help to get into working order. My 2002 is basically fully taken apart (engine, trans, fuel tank, seats, etc all removed).
My schedule and commitments make it hard for me to (learn and) tackle it all myself, so looking for some outside help to install the transmission + motor to get it drivable and then a great auto/body shop for a full prime/ paint job.
I’m on the east side of the bay, so prefer anything in Berkeley / Oakland or the 680 corridor. Open to further out as well if the reference is strong.
Thanks in advance!
