Guess the biggest question would be what’s your budget? That will gives us an idea what sort of rebuild you’re after.
the body center just rebuilt one for appreciating classics but will be big money as would a restoration company.
the middle of the road garages might not have the knowledge to do it though, I doubt Cit-Ren would get involved, they’re not even interested in break 1*2 anymore as too old. That leaves an enthusiast in his garage but I highly doubt any of the tnt boys will want to take on someone elses project.
Give me a minute and I can find out the name of the garage that sprayed coleys car, they’re currently doing a raider

Hi guys so the cars has had full paint, was stripped down to shell everything has been cleaned and just ready for re assembly all parts are there, and I don’t really have a budget as such I know how long it would take to put back together as I know how long it took me to take it apart I just haven’t got any storage space I’ll try get some pictures up in the new year and I did try cit-ren not something they would undertake

Not done a 5 myself, but usually it takes at least 3 times as long to put together than taking it apart, that's when you took it apart yourself.
On average it takes 200 hours to build a simple midget race car. At work our Labour rate is £55/hour +vat. So would be a pretty big bill.

I dropped him a message also Nick before Christmas but not sure he has picked it up
Get my addition garage in a few weeks so an could be an option to help if needed which in turn would help to give my projects a move forward but have plenty to get on with

I’ve considered taking it on, something to do during furlough. I’m good at doing jobs/stuff for others but my own stuff just sits waiting for me to be motivated.
Be good to see some progress from yourself, was wondering how you were getting on the other day.
It might even motivate me to do something (new year, new me and all that
!)
