Collision repair centre recommendation

Newbie here.

Just picked up my RX from my aunt's place where I had stored for some time. I've got an 83. My front passenger side quarter sub frame has quite a bit of rust and I would like to replace it. Story goes...

I had bought this car when I was 17-18 (23 yrs ago) from a body shop that specialized in collision repairs. At the time I was in the market for an RX 7 and came across this one. Stupid me , I drove it for several years in rain, sleet and SNOW until my first born was born and realized that I couldn't keep the insurance on it and that it didn't have a back seat. My choice was to sell it or keep it. I choosed the later. I convinced my aunt to keep it in her garage for several months. Well 18 yrs and 3 kids later I finally had it towed to my place since I could now longer keep it at my aunts due to her selling her house.

The passenger side sub frame is all rusted out and I want to replace it. Does anyone know of any collision repair centres that will repair this for a half decent cost. I don't want to get rid of this car as it has sentimental value. And plus my daughter wants it now

Classicauto??

Is that the shop in Hagersville? There are several Classicauto sites on the web. I want to make sure that this is the correct one.

Thanks again.

WHoa.....sweet

Thanks for the plugs guys!

Greaper_ca - I can take a look at it for you and give you a cost, or you can send a few good pictures of the damage to classicautobody@hotmail.com and I can evaluate it from there and give you a rough idea of a price.
