 I can recommend my friend the professional mechanic.  The shop where he's working at the moment, which IIRC is near Pittsburg CA, has had at least some experience with JHs -- in fact they had one there just a few weeks ago.  You can contact him by email:  Robert McCarl, robertmccarl@hotmail.com  and, if you wish, mention that I referred him to you.  After that you're on your own.  Disclosure: family friend, but I have no financial interest.

There's also a shop in Stockton CA called British Car Specialists, 2060 N. Wilson Way.  I haven't ever dealt with this shop myself, but have been told that they have a good reputation.  Usual disclaimers on this one.

OTOH, if you have lots of time and space, but a limited budget, you can do most of the work involved in a restoration yourself, and can hire a mechanic for those few things that really do take professional skills.  Write down everything that seems wrong on the car.  Pick an item from the list, ask questions about it on this forum, then fix whatever's wrong.  Repeat as necessary until you run out of things to fix.

Good luck and have fun.
