Icon5 EJ1 Restoration/Resto-modification?

Hello Community,

Can anybody recommend a one-stop-type-shop in Northern California / San Francisco that could restore/update an EJ1?
Needs some work on the body (mainly a rust spot, some dents and scratches), chassis (vibration, abnormal noises), window gaskets and whatnots. For the interior, would like to have the wiring replaced/redone for the audio and alarm, some hard-to-reach burnt bulbs replaced, and maybe adding some modern updates like defogging side mirrors; I assume this likely involves gutting the interior and reinstalling.
Basically, I'm spoiled, lazy, don't know how nor want to do the work myself, don't have the tools, don't have time to drive from shop to shop to shop to shop because I'm working to have the money to pay for all of this and keep knowledgeable people employed in a field where I'm self-admittedly stupid.

Yes, I know there are such things as new cars. I like this one. I like it enough to have had it for 25 years and still prefer to preserve it over buying something new. I still look back at it after parking and walking away 10 feet. It's like that.

Thanks in advance for all leads and constructive advice.

Might try asking in the Cali section. That is where the locals should be hanging out.

You find the sections here:
