Default Need Engine cover adjusted, who is good in NOVA?

The engine cover is a little bit off and rubs and I also need the drivers door adjusted, any suggestions where I should go?? Sadly I have no problem tearing into the engine but body stuff is out of my league. Thanks

you may want to call Euro Pro's in Gaithersburg. Their number is 301-977-7475. Ask for Jack Ford, he's the owner. Tell him Jon Estrella sent you and he will hook you up.

Lewis in Merrifield is the best, Period. His shop is right across from IMA (Ivan Arzolla's shop). He restores all types of 911s and 356s. A walk through his shop will leave your jaw on the ground, but don't be fooled by the clutter he is a master.

Just drive over one day a have him take a look.

Coming from Falls Church on 29 turn left on Prosperity and then right into the first drive way after the BMW dealership and then left down the service road and then right toward a used office furniture store. Lewis is on the left.

Karosserie is the name of the shop Marc is referring to. Lewis rehung the doors and did some other minor body work on my Carrera. Top notch work.

I've wondered where Lewis' place was. The way you described sounds a lot like the directions to Autosport Systems Group in Fairfax. Is he close to them? Dorr Avenue?

Lewis is near ASG, but on the other side of Lee Hwy. Basically, it's the next industrial park after the BMW of Fairfax's side lot. Go down Prosperity and you'll see some Porsches parked out there. Go in that parking lot and Lewis is on the left. His shop is like a museum.

Rick,

He and I drove down in the same 356 caravan to Asheville last week (8 cars total), but it was the first time I'd really gotten to know him. I'll drop in and see him, thanks!

I went by today and had him take a look, he says he can fix it up in about an hour. So next week I will take it by and get it aligned. The place has some really nice cars in it and the neighbor also have a bunch of nice stuff.

I appreciate the recommendation, I figure I owe a beer or so
