Default Independent to ressurect a NSX

A friend has inherited a 1991 NSX 155K miles, not driven for about 5 years. It is currently in the Silver Spring MD area. Been dealer maintained but looking for an Independent with NSX experience, will trailer Northern VA etc. He is looking for records, but thinks the timing belt and maybe water pump might need attention before bringing it to life.
I might get to drive it!!!!!
Any suggestions?
Dirk

Excellent cars. Obvious but they arent magically boxes of wires and pipes. If you can work on a honda mini van...

I only drove one once, way too small for me. Good luck, please report back after you put some miles on it.

I remember taking mine [when I owned one] to my local mechanic years ago and asked if he would be able to maintain it. His response: Hell, it's a Honda!

As for head room. I had to remove the seat cushion to wear a helmet.
