Body and rust repair, looking for 914 person Los Angeles! Options

[mgphoto]

Hello,
I have been trying to find someone who knows 914's in the Los Angeles area.

I had an accident a few weeks ago, damaged the front (see images).
I have been collection the parts for the repair. I have been asking everyone around here for a shop that knows 914's but not much luck, mostly 911 shops.









Along with the front end damage, I have a few rust issues that need to be addressed.

I found shops that are willing to do the front end repair but not the rust damage.

One of the shops would not touch the car unless I did a full rotisserie restoration. I don't have the funds for that extensive a project.

The rust is concentrated in the outer longs area (see images)






















I am pretty competent with the 914 mechanicals. I have owned this car for 31 years and have been wrenching it myself, (only other person to do any work on the car in 30+ years is the guy I trust to do my wheel alinements).
I am trying to find someone close to the Los Angeles area that has done this before and knows 914's hopefully as well as I do.
Thanks in advance for any info you may have.
Mike

If you are not willing to spend the money for a full restoration, you will not be able to drive it for another 30 years. The rust you CAN see is only 20% of what is there. BTW, you should not have even been driving that car with that much rust. 914's have been known to break in half.

I have junked better cars than that due to rust. I realize this car is special to you but in my opinion, you need to let it go. It is far cheaper to swap parts over to a new tub. And if you have a build party, you can get many of us to help. You buy the beer and pizza...

Craig's list has plenty of rollers to be had for $1K-$3K.

Here are some examples of too much rust in the longs. If you get in another accident, this could (will) happen...

I remember taking a pic of the blue car. Stored under a tarp in S Jersey. Mold was so bad I couldn’t get within 20 feet. Seller was advertising parts for sale but buyer had to remove them themselves. I got back in my car and continued on to visit my parents.
