Hello, I'm new to the early registry (1st post) but a long time Pelican member. I've had several Pcars over the years, but never an early. I stumbled across what I think is a decent candidate for a 3.0 conversion and I'd like to get some opinions on value.

- 71e targa; very little rust - some surface in batt box, rockers and elsewhere looks very good.
- needs driver fender, door and targa redo; needs wheels
- needs total repaint; new seals, etc.
- has orig engine core, but has been picked part of many other parts
- no trans or axles
- have orig seats (good shape) and panels; new carpets and dash needs work

My questions:
- reasonable price to offer; realistic price to pay?
- my goal is a very nice driver with a 3.0 / 915 in targa. Does this seem like a good starting point?
- anything critical I should be evaluating on this car? (aside from about $20k in budget and months / years of effort )

Thanks!
