A thread with over 40 replies, not a single one of them saying this was a good idea or possible with your budget. And you make the wrong decision anyways.
Admit it. You didn't really want our input.
You just wanted to hear your opinion in a voice that doesn't lithp.

Thenuge gave you numbers.
But really we're all just telling you it's a bad idea because we're all just huge jokers and love trolling.
Or are we?
Doesn't matter either way. We're just trying to keep you away from all the excellent free information that exists on this site by keeping you guessing as to what we really think about this idea in this thread.

driveshaft - $40+ship used from BTDT
radiator - $255+ship 37mm Mishimoto from Goodwin
fmic and piping - $200++ used piecemeal diy from MT classifieds (if you're patient)
clutch - $300+ used (if you're patient)
tuning and ecu - $600 diypnp from MT members
$1,395 so far, being very generous and neglecting all work and misc. gaskets, fluids, belts, hoses, etc. just to get the thing running again. Of course, this also ignores any tires, suspension, and brake upgrades that will keep you on the road and alive.
New tires - budget blown
New brakes and brake lines - budget blown
New shocks and springs - budget blown
Rollbar - budget blown
Hardtop - budget blown

Fuel injectors/pump, motor mounts you'd be stupid to not replace while the motor was out, gaskets, miscellaneous hardware and little parts along the way....
And then a new turbo when you figure out that Super 60 is going to be Super Awful on a 1.6.
And a manifold that doesnt gargle ***** for sport. And a variable tps, and and and and and and and

You wanted our input, but you specifically wanted our input as a basis to justify the the poor decision that you were planning to make anyways.
Asking for someone's opinion and then ignoring it is a feminine trait.
Wife: "Should I wear the blue one or the white one?"
Me: "I think you should wear the white one."
Wife: "I like the blue one better. I'm going to wear the blue one."
Yes!!!
