Default best restoration shop in Tampa / St. Pete area for CRX?

Hi, all. Just picked up an '89 CRX that is, shall we say, not clean. It needs quite a bit of work, much of which is beyond my ken. For example, it needs a new gauge cluster and steering wheel (among a long list of other things). My skills are pretty much limited to wrenching and sanding - don't want to mess with the electrical system. Which shop would you recommend for the stuff I can't do myself?

Thanks!

Incidentally, it's NOT Drenica Customs Auto in Holiday. The Rex I bought was blowing some white smoke, and I figured it probably needed a new head gasket. The guy there who sold me the car claimed the problem was with the exhaust, but it turned out that the motor is completely trashed! Glad I have the cash for a reman D15B2 from the Honda dealer, but I'll never go back to Drenica again.
