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.

100% agree on both the satisfaction of doing it yourself and the 100s of hours it takes to replace/patch floor pans. A task not suited for everyone. I would assess the condition of the front floor pan and firewall where the pedal cluster mounts. If rotted into the firewall add another 100 hrs of your time. You will need donor metal or some origami metal shaping skills on that piece.
