datsun2413

Hello All, I am a very amateur "car" guy. I have never done anything major on the car. I've done my brakes before and change my own oil, but that is about it. Besides that my knowledge of all the terms is very limited. I am looking at getting a Datsun 280z and want to bring it into the modern age. Right now, I don't even know what all that entails. Could someone please point me in the right direction of where I can start reading or if someone can make a list for me that would be great. here is what I've gotten so far. - Engine - Transmission - Electrical - Suspension/brakes I've been able to find all these things individually -- but what If I want to replace all of it. Can I replace them independently or do they all have to work together? I don't want to get certain mounts for a certain engine but then that mount gets in the way of the transmission etc (i really don't even know if this is a stupid question). I would get all this work done by a shop -- but the shops I've called want me to get all the parts for them. Has anyone done a full 0-100 replacement and have a list of the work done? I am hoping for a 10k or so budget. Any advice or direction would be very appreciated. Thank you
