RE: H1 Restoration
Not knowing exactly what your trucks need complicates things a little. Guessing that you want a total mechanical and cosmetic restoration the best H1 mechanic in the country in the opinion of many is Mike Sabrese at Tustin Hummer in Tustin, CA.( 714-669-3699 ) Lynch Hummer is the largest H1 dealer in the world. ( 636-777-7600 ) I know they do a lot of repair and mechanical work on H1s but they have never serviced or repaired a truck for me. Probably the largest, but not cheapest source for parts is Kascar ( 864-422-0370 ) There is also a private H1 shop in Huntington Beach, Ca called Hummer Solutions. I don't have that number with me at the moment but Mike Sabrese can give that to you also.
I assume that you want this all done fairly quickly which means not spending a lot of time searching for the best price on parts. I have bought a lot of H1 parts off of Ebay but you never know what is going to be up for auction. For example I just bought a turbo unit complete with wastegate for $400.00 on Ebay. It is a $1200.00 part if you have to buy it when you need it instead of when you can get a deal on it.
I am sure there are other places that can do the work but these are among the best. If you can put together a list of what you want done it will help them give you a better estimate. Given that these trucks are in Egypt any pricing you get will be an estimate. There are always things that come up that weren't anticipated.
If you have more questions re-post or PM me and I will do what I can to get you better answers.

RE: H1 Restoration
Mike Sabrese would be a great place to start. People ship their hummers to Mike from all over the country for work to be done on them. Lynch is also a good choice. You could send it to Travis at Rubberduck4x4, but he would turn it into a gnarly wheeling machine -- far from stock.

As far as the interior is concerened, I will need a complete new interior with new dash and instruments. The exterior will require a complete body paint, inside and out as well as the engine bay. New tires, lamps, lights,..., etc.
A lot of work......would you have a rough estimate what the above would cost. Based on the above requirements, would you think Mike Sabrese or Lynch would be more suitable for the job.

btw Welcome to the Forum.
Also If you want a cheaper method but just as good there is a guy in Toronto, Ontario. CANADA.
He does GREAT WORK! I goto him all the time and never have been upset. He will be able to totally restore your H1's as well, he works on basically all the H1's in Southern Ontario. And I might even be able to take some pictures for you during the process if I happen to stop in during their stay. If your interested in him pm me and I will get you his contact information.

RE: H1 Restoration
TKF,
I spoke with Rob at Tustin Hummer. They can do all of the mechanical and interior work. They send the trucks out for apint and boby work. I have had them do some paint work for me and was very satisfied. Call Rob/Mike at Tustin Hummer and go through in detail what you need done. Mike Sabrese is one of the best, if not the best H1 mechanic in the country. If you checked with AM General they would tell you the same thing.

I'll send him an email with some interior and exterior pictures and he'll send me an estimate for all the work needed.
Are there any engine upgrades I can do to the stock 6.5l engine to increase HP apart from a different fuel pump?
I will keep you all posted of the progress.
Thanks again to all of you. Kind regards,
Tarek
