Default Fixing my beater

I have an '81 Porsche 924, and the rear end is no longer doing what it should.

Long story short, I don't have the time or resources to get this thing going again and I was wondering if anybody knew of a semi-decent shop in Newport News (local for towing sake) to diagnose the possible faulty axle or diff... possibly drive shaft, and fix said problem.

So where can I go with it? Big Al's is very close but they only do FWD.

Thanks douglas, anybody else with a more local shop? Preferably one you've dealt with in the past? I'd appreciate it

Whats that place on Rt 17 in Yorktown right next to NN. They have all those race Porsches in front of their shop all the time. I'm sure they could handle the job, they're probably very expensive though.

I was thinking of the same place. They've got a nice yellow 944 racer out there

Race Prep Motorsports.
On Rte. 17 or George Washington Highway in Newport News, somewhat close to Custom Car Care, but on the other side of the road.

A Porsche seems like a rather expensive car to drive as a beater.
