I have done two six figure builds as a check book mechanic.... incredibly rewarding and I have to say I got 80% of every dollar spent back out..... You need to decide why you are doing it. Are you doing it to eek out every bit of performance and the corresponding rush, are you building it for Cars and Coffee or are you building it to flip.

If it is performance you can keep it inexpensive ($25K to $50K); drive train, suspension, wheels, tires and brakes.... a good sport seat to hold you in...… Cars & Coffee takes it up a notch to bodywork, paint ($25K) and interior ($10K).....

But......

Your tone makes me think this would not be a good project for you. I would sell it and buy a modern car....
