    Suspension Pan Replacement Shop Recommendations in Southern California

    I need to get my front suspension pan replaced and the shop over here in Phoenix either wont give me an estimate or are booked for the next three months. Anybody in southern CA have their pan replaced lately? cost? shop recommendations? The damaged is mainly limited to the attaching points, there is no damage to the inside pan. Any referrals appreciated. Thanks

    Trust me, you will need both upper and lower, and maybe some longitudinal pieces.

    The guys at Axiom Motorsports did mine. The wait wasn't too bad and the workmanship was good. They don't advertise and are pretty low key. They do a lot of undercover work for more famous shops. Joe is the owner, you may want to try them..Cheers

    Either that was not an Arizona car or the batteries were made of Swiss cheese.

    John Esposito Porsche Repair in North Hollywood did a beautiful job replacing the front pan on my 1968 912 Renegade. He was finishing up a paint job and I knew the front pan was pretty close to gone so I asked him to replace it while he had the car. Perfect job and a good guy to work with too. I think it only took him a day or two.

    I checked with John and he was way to high for me. I decided I'm going to cut everything out, fit the new pan and then find someone to weld it in. I worked today for a couple of hours and it wasn't to bad. I have new RD parts coming in.

    Just curious what way too high was? Looks like you are going to be making some wheelhouse flanges and someone attacked the nose with an ice pick?
