Default 996 repair help
As I'm known to do, I started 3 projects simultaneously and have run out of time and knowledge to finish them, wondering if there are any recommendations for a shop that might be willing to tackle this or a wrench who makes house calls. I'm half done replacing the rear window regulator (996 cab) and can't for the life of me get it lined up. Have to replace a seat as well.
Any thoughts appreciated, I'm in Leesburg.
Thanks

In the olden days a gang would have descended like vultures, fixed the window, pulled and reinstalled the motor and trans for no reason at all, drank all the beer then the hard stuff, harassed the wife and then made of with the dog and all the 10mm sockets.
