Default members in socal with shops?
n00b here. i need some pointers/guides on general stuff to do with me car. i was wondering if any members had nice shops or even did work out of their homes that i can shadow you or something.
Cracked panel: needs bondo/ paint
Looking to get rear end: do not know where to begin on that
new exhaust: maybe someone knows custom jobs like welding/ pipe bending etc.

hope to maybe someday work with some of ya.
ill pay for labor/beer.

(btw im just a 6er )
