I've been putting time in at a body shop for the last few years, mainly to work on my car. Tim, the owner is very familiar with the e30 at this point.

Also interested in a body shop, so open to recommendations - not looking to go immediately, but I'd like new sheetmetal in my rear quarter on one side.

Lindburgs

Sorry to bump an old thread, but curious on two things:

1.) Did the OP ever go to F&S
2.) How reasonable is Lindburg's on non-insurance work?

I went to Lindburg's when my Si got rear-ended; did great work. But someone else's insurance was footing the bill.

Need rust/bondo repair, primarily.

Havnt gone to get it fixed. Tho Theo told me my car is completely fixable . And with that I was an idiot and spent all the money I Got from Insurance on an s50 swap . There's a dude called "Boston Jimmy" whom I've heard great things about . Alot of people on NE30 talking of him

As have I. My big thing though is that I want to be able to drop in and check the car out on a fairly regular basis.

Maybe I'm weird, but I just like being able to lay my eyes on it throughout the week(s) that it's being worked on.

he's actually doing my car right now, I had a shopping list of rust I really wanted to have done

- drive side floorpan welded in and painted/undercoated
- rear floor pan (both sides) welded in and painted/undercoated
- rear wheel arch replaced/repaired/repainted
- rocker panel replaced/repainted

here's a sample from the rocker panel part:

If you end up at the meet next weekend I'm trying to bring my e30 if you want to check out his work

I mean, you can I'd imagine, he's pretty cool to hang out with and puts up with all of my questions - I can't imagine anybody is worse

jimmy just finished some repairs and a spray on my girls e30, we'll probably drive it to the meet next week and you can check it out.

I have my Ti undergoing some rust repairs right now local to me. Guy is an exceptional craftsman. He restores WW II aircraft and does many 60-70's chrysler muscle cars. He had just finished a 71 hemi cuda convertible when my car went in.

Jimmy has my car right now. He's doing some pretty extensive rust repair/old track damage on the undercarriage in addition to a full respray. He's been great to work with, very responsive and his rates are very fair.

I think he's worked on like 6 or 7 e30s now. He even had panels already in the shop to cut up for the floor repairs! Cars not done yet, but so far I would recommend him highly. He's not doing insurance jobs, all custom/customer paid stuff.

Find his shop on Facebook - Boston Underground.

my Ti is coming home soon.
