New to Forum, I need a recommendation for a good body shop to deal with some A-post/Screen corrosion on my 1997 993
Suggestions welcome - thank you - Tim
 
Hi Tim

I shopped around for months visiting various body shops and TY seemed the best and most passionate about is work

Just had mine done with Ty at Welcome | Riviera Autobody

I ended up having a full respray in the end as original 28 year old paint and scratches deep in the paint work & OCD [8|]

Only got the car back Tuesday. I've had the car 20 year now too

Ty took it for full front PPF then I took it to Weston-on-the-Green for a self healing ceramic coating

Here as some Pictures. Link will only last 30days

Any questions, just ask

Graham

Many thanks Graham and for the pix - great colour! Also thanks for your suggestion re paint protection

Graham - it looks from the photos like you did not have the roof done or rear screen out - is that me just misinterpreting the photos or was there a reason for that approach?

Mine will need the rear screen out as I can see some very slight corrosion in its bottom right corner.

I've only had mine for 17 years but it's reached a point where there are so many annoying imperfections on so many panels that I'm thinking of investing in a complete respray now.
 
Hi Mark

Sides of roof where done with the outer trim removed and seals replaced also had the Main Targa Seal at front changed.
I did have a small corrosion issue on one corner below the rear screen in the channel but they could sort that as with Screen in as different on Targas to Coupe.

Ty have removed Targa Roofs before but wasn't needed for me
