Some of the stuff you list is still going to be a problem if you swap it to the new car... eg engine.

If I were you, I would do the following (my projects have given me excellent self-justification skills):

1. Figure out what the cab needs
2. Figure out what the coupe needs to be at equivalent state
3. Figure out the overlap (ie, both might need engine work)
4. Figure out what the cab is worth now if you sell it
5. Figure out what the cab is worth if you strip it down

You really need to decide what the finishing point is - a part of your 80:20 rule.

If you can find it, you really should sell the cab and buy someone elses (finished) project, but that is no fun.

I guess it all depends on how much is included in the roller, or to put it another way, how much of a screaming deal the roller is.

I can assure you that costs can add up very very quickly, especially if you pay someone to do the work.
