240 Body Work and Painting Specialists in CA or Oregon: Recommendations? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be SFBayArea_1982_242 on  Tue Sep 12 06:49 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hi Guys,

I have a 1982 242 that has been very well maintained mechanically over the years, having spent its life in CA. (I gutted the interior a few years ago and went through the doors and pan to treat for corrosion and the like. Put in a layer or two of Dynamat while I was there. So no worries in relation to the interior.)

However, given its age and mileage (approaching 300k)it could use some minor exterior body work and a new paint.

I'd like to have the work done by a shop that is familiar with bodywork on the 200 series Volvo's (and had access to trim and the like as is necessary), and was wondering if those of you who are knowledgeable about this kind of work had suggestions of shops that I should check in with?

I live in the SF Bay Area so shops in CA may make best sense, although I'd probably be willing to go to Oregon or Nevada if necessary.

Thanks.

Regards, Dave
