Restoration recommendations?

Posted this on the restoration forum, but was told this regional forum might be a better place for it:

I've owned my 93 Touring since it was new, and it’s finally time to either sell it or restore it, and I can't fathom selling it (I'm constantly getting notes left on it asking me to, and it's sitting in my driveway).

Does anyone have have recommendations for someone who will do a nice job in a timely manner? I'm in the SF Bay Area.

Here is what I know needs work:

- the paint is shot (what was it called? “Montego Blue”?)
- The driver side motor mount is broken
- There is an oil leak that leaks oil onto the catalytic converter cover and causes horrendous smoke clouds when everything is up to heat. This is the main reason I don't drive it right now, because of the fire hazard.
- otherwise, I want the car to be in better shape. The engine was rebuilt by Mazda Rotorsports in Pleasanton ~10k miles ago. It's got a new suspension and fuel computer (Apex-i FC Commander? I'm getting old, I can't remember all these names &#128518

any leads would be appreciated

Did you ever find a restorer? I'm in a similar boat with my 88' convertible (and also in the SF Bay Area) -- any suggestions would be appreciated!
