Looking for a shop to help with Puma GT project (East Coast)

[GTMechE]

Hello,
I recently purchased a Puma GT (Brazilian Type 1 based vehicle) and am looking for a shop to help me make it drive as good as it looks. I'm planning to perform major upgrades to suspension, brakes, and engine, and would love to find a shop that has a lot of experience creating high performance VWs to help make it happen.

The most convenient locations for me would be Jacksonville, Atlanta, or New York, although I would consider another location on the East Coast if it seemed like a perfect fit. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
