01-11-2010, 01:26 PMHello Forum,
I am currently living in Shanghai, finishing up my last semester at school. I have graciously decided to award myself a CJ750 sidecar when I leave China. After some research on the ol' internet, I believe I have found some good places, but every garage says that simple basic repair knowledge is a must.
Now don't get me wrong, that is part of the reason I love the CJ. I have always loved tinkering (I don't consider myself mechanically inclined, but I did love to tinker on my 73 Vette during the last few summers) and would enjoy spending some time in the garage BUT I would like to at least shadow a pro for even a few months until I felt very comfortable before I bought one.
Does anybody know a shop in Shanghai or even Beijing that I could get in contact with. My Chinese is pretty brutal but I could get by (and even appreciate being talked to with a Beijing accent!)
Thanks for Everything Guys!

Nice name there!
Seems to be a good crew of folks starting to develop in Shanghai. Contact member Shanghaifingers. He owns and runs a CJ750 (and other makes) shop in Shanghai. Smell around on MCM for his posts and shop location.
How long have you been in China?

I have a BMW powered CJ, rebuilt by and still (I hope ) sitting at Jim's shop. I also awarded myself with a CJ when I left China (this was 4 years ago), but I am still here . I found that I prefer 2 wheels (BMW powered ), so my CJ is for sale. Please contact me for details if you are interested.

01-20-2010, 06:52 AMHey Crazy Carl,
Thanks for the tip. Sorry for the late reply but I am currently doing some travelling around Xi'an in between semesters (and developing a wicked cigarette-like laden cough from all the..er...fog). Been in Shanghai for two years now, hence the name. I remember when I first arrived, I thought I could write a book on China. Then after a month, a blog. After a year, simply a sentence "Wo zhen de bu zhidao." Anyways, thanks for setting up this forum!

01-20-2010, 06:56 AMThanks Jimbo,
I will certainly take you up on your generous offer. Maybe I could come up for a little bit after after June? I'll even bring the coffee for you and Kang Jian Chao!
