Unhappy I know I shoudnt have but I already did so its too late

If you are thinking about fixing up the old car by buying a newer one and taking all the parts out and swapping them, don't. I took my 76 911 with an engine that was blowing oil apart. bought an 83 with a super engine (compared to mine) great exhaust, new struts, shocks, etc etc. and decided to just use everything off of it. I took the 83 apart the minute I got it which was my first mistake. I did take pictures but they are not as good as I thought they were. I am missing the brackets for module front and back that I should have cut off the other car. I also decided to change the wiring harness. This is an impossible feat, all those wires wont go through the little hole down through he center tube. So I had an idea. Mistake number 2. I cut the harness where it goes into the body and just enters the tube. Now I had to solder a ton of wires back together after I pulled the 2 halves together. I still haven't figured out where all the wires go too yet. 88% yes, 100% may take a while. The last mistake (so Far) is to not take my old 76 all the way apart then finding I need the ends of the torsion bar housings because mine are rusted away. So I would like to get this finished in say 5 months, any suggestions out there.
