Looking for SoCal restoration shop

[Curt Johnson]

I have a BJ8 that has been stored since 1992. I started the restoration and got it running, etc but got bogged down, so I am looking for a restoration shop near Ventura CA that can finish it for me so I can start driving it. Needs work on upholstry, top, dash, brakes. I know about Kurt Tanner but that shop is on the wrong side of LA - can't get there from here. Any recommendations?

You could do worse than Eric Grunden at Absolutely British:

Ditto Grunden. Also British Car Specialists in Stockton. (Might get faster turnaround there). Also XKs Unlimited in SLO has done really good Healey restorations.

Tanner's not in the resto biz any more. Just buys and sells.

Thank you Bob, Steve & Keoke. Guess I'll have to give Eric a call.
