Need help repairing and getting a site up to date

Hello folks... Happy new year
I have an old site stuck in an upgrade loop I have not been able to fix for over a year. It is a very old site that started of with version PF 5 and has been continously upgraded with each major release up to 7.02.7 and when getting to 8 and 9 I was just not able to get everything to work. To many things are new and while there is little or no custom code some vital things are broken, unable to get downloads up and running, keeping the fie paths and keeping the statistics which is essential to the site. It is also a bit crappy in regards to layout, but that is another matter.
In order to get this fixed I am willing to give out full access to the site and also willing to pay a preliminary amount of 100€, to be negotiated if BIG things are wrong. This, instead of starting from scratch, which would be my only remaining alternative, as far as I know.
Step one would be to indicate you are interested in helping with this by posting below, I can give more information as to what is wrong - mostly the migration from PHP 5 to PHP 7 caused several issue, but I can restore the original site with PHP 5.4 and one might start off from there, or maybe there is only a couple of DB scripts that are needed to fix it. Just need to know that someone is interested in doing this first. As mentioned, most of the site is working, work is needed, but Downloads is a priority.

I.M.O. The only thing the update scripts are doing is change the database structure/contents for adaption to the new code. So My guess is there must be something wrong with the database. Important to know is at which point the update process gets stuck. Once the tables are faulty, every following update will make it worse

From the 7.03 backup it must be possible to upgrade to V8. I have done a couple of updates from 7.02.07 to V8, and this runs flawless.
If you want me to take a look at your site, please send me a PM.

I can help with the upgrade next month. As you suggested for 100 €.
Latest v9, fixed theme, infusions (not all, only few important for you ) and of course support for latest PHP 8.
