My new project car!!! rx7

so like the title says i was lucky or at least i think in my eyes i was to find a clean rx7 shell. It has a clean title the chasis is good. Has two small cancer spots one on the roof another by the tail but nothing major.It was my friends but due to some financial status he needed to let it go for some quick cash and let it go for $850......im planning on putting a TurboII motor into it and swapping the rear diff with a turboII diff. How much do you guys think itll run me to send it to get painted,fix the little dings here and there, and cure the cancer spots lol.....oh and inlcuding the swap of course. Im new to this swapping/project car thing so i was looking to see if anyone can give me a few pointers.....thanks for your help.
