Engine rebuild

Hi all, I’m looking for some help. I have been backdating a 1984 Porsche 911 targa for the last 5 1/2 years and to date have spent much money. The garage that is doing all of the work runs a service business and my car always takes a backseat to his servicing, hence 5 1/2 years backdating. He is halfway through an engine build but is just not getting on with it and I have had several months go by with no work on it at all
Does anybody have or know a mechanic that is capable of finishing the engine build, and once the engine is back in, rebuilding the backend, connecting lights etc. I guess what I am looking for is an independent that has worked on air cooled Porsches before that is capable and willing to finish my dream car

Def get the car out of there. Have heard these stories before and it usually ends up with missing parts and/or the business shutting down and difficulty retrieving the vehicle.
