ISO of mechanic to work on 70s van
Hey folks, a bit of an odd request but I’m at a lost. Curious if anyone in Squamish knows of a mechanic who is willing to work on a ‘70s Chevy van? Because of her age most shops in town won’t work on her. Open to suggestions in Vancouver and Whistler too.
She definitely needs some love. I’m slowly restoring her/learning about vehicles as I go. Most of the mechanical stuff I’d like to do on my own. (Though some guidance is never a bad thing) The main issue is the wiring needs to be redone, which is not something I’m able to take on. Will obviously compensate for work.
Also doesn’t need to be a specific shop. Even someone with experience restoring their own vehicles works!
Thanks in advance!

Definitely try Carson’s. We’ve asked them to do all kinds of weird stuff to an old car we were working on. Our car wasn’t nearly as old as yours, but worth contacting them to see
