Need to find restoration shop in So. Ca
« on: November 29, 2012, 05:11:44 »
Hello everyone, I am new to this site and very pleased with the abundance of information and the nice people. I have an early 66' 250 sl (euro) that is a good running driver that underwent significant rust repair (all floor panels, rocker panels) and respray about 5 years ago.  Now I am ready to restore the interior (leather, dash and doors) but I need to find a reputable restoration shop in the general LA area. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I can provide a very strong recommendation of Brian Peters at Motoring Investments in San Diego.  He recently completed a substantial maintenance and general clean-up on my already-restored 1971 Pagoda.  He can do anything from full restoration to smaller issues.  He is a four star guy with an amazing depth of knowledge about our cars.  His website is definitely worth a visit.  His contact details are below:

Mr. Brian Peters
Motoring Investments

Office (619) 238-1977
3287 F Street, Suite A
San Diego, CA 92102

Good luck.
