Need a garage to put Mk1 Cabby back together
Over 5 years later poor Gurtie is still in pieces in the garage after I never found the time to go back to it, and from lack of knowledge/expertise I honestly always doubted I could get her back together.
We move house over the next couple of weeks and I need to be able to move Gurtie, so I need to get her back together now. Can anyone recommend anyone that is good with classic cars, ideally Mk1 Golfs, that we can speak to about getting the work done? A quick Google turned up a few restoration garages but I would prefer a recommendation. We're in the Wakefield area so ideally somewhere near there but prepared to go further afield to get the job done properly.
The image shows what she currently looks like. I should have all the parts to put her back together, except for a few of the plastic stud things that hold the dash in place, some of those broke.

Initially we need Gurtie running again, but we then have a list of things we want doing to finish restoring her.
