Default Any shop recommendations for stock LS1/A4 in Festiva

Car:

Ford Festiva

Powerplant:

Bone stock LS1/A4

Rear:

Custom 9"

Chassis:

Need a shop that can build it right, custom cage, 2 seats only, tubbed rear and front for wheels

Wheels:

17 x 11 back
17 x 9 front

Brakes:

Stock C5 brakes/rotors

Suspension:

pers shop



I'm looking for a shop that can do this and have the car SAFE and reliable. I want is as a daily driver setup w/out AC. It must look stock exteriorly (the body). A bone stock LS1/A4 should net low 11s in the 1/4 and get nearly 30 MPG highway. The car weighs only 1790 lbs in it's stock form.

Any suggestions?
