San Diego Frame Shop Recommendation

Hello 86ers, my front clip on my AE86 is too damaged to have it pulled and was wondering if anyone knows of any shops here that can cut and weld a front clip. I went to Custom Auto Body Shop in Kearny and the guy didn't even want to touch my car and said to have it cut and welded would cost "thousands" and this is with myself removing the engine.

Duude apparently someone cut and weld on a different shock tower so if true, it would only damage the integrity of the front clip since there's no buckled metal to pull.

What was the shop that you went to? I have a friend that works at http://socal-suspension.com/ named Jeremy who might be able to help.
