Hi All. I’m thinking of bringing a 73 1.7 out of long term storage. It’s been in the family for quite a few years and probably has more sentimental value than the car is worth. I know rust repair work can be a slippery slope. It will need floor pans and inner longitudinals at a minimum. Probably hell hole work as well. Does anyone have any recommendations on a shop that has experience with these cars? Prefer to keep the car somewhat local. Thanks.

Looks a lot like where mine started. Nice on the topside but was rotten floorpan all the way round about 1" up. Passenger long was gone. Driver side was solid.
Looks to be worth saving. I think I maybe see a bit of rust though on the driver side door sill? Pictures of longs and hell hole would tell the tale. |
