Body and Mechanic Shop for RX-7

Hi! About 2 weeks ago I was in a bad crash that left my FD with a nasty facelift. I need to replace both fenders, hood, front bumper, both head lights and pretty much the whole cooling system. I also need to realign my frame (in front on the engine) and replace my rad support. With that being said, I need your help to find the BEST shop for body and mechanic for my car, or shops (1 for body, 1 for mechanic). I live in the Ottawa region, so Im looking in the whereabouts all the way up to Montreal. I was gonna buy a JDM front clip to replace all the missing/destroyed parts. I am looking for a shop that will get her back on her wheels. Im willing to pay for the best, no less. If you know of any shops you would trust to work on your RX, please let me know. I wanna get my car back on the streets by next summer.

Thanks alot!

Fred

^ Same, never used him but he's a member on the forum and people I trust trust him.
If you want another reference I use Select Auto Collision in Markham, Ontario. Contact Frank Di Leo and tell him the Spivak's sent you and he'll take care of youl. Both of his sons race in various formula series and he owns Goodwood Kartways, so he enjoys the business as much as we enjoy our cars! It's a little out of your way but if you want the best...

That wouldn't solve the issue of bent or damaged supporting structures though.

I'd be glad to help you, I have a few customers in the ottawa area granted it is not exactly down the street from me. Why don't you post some pics of the damage and at the least I can point out a few key things you'll want taken care of if you're using a closer shop
