Much of what you are looking to do, but $10s of thousands invested. Sure that much of it can be done, scaled back, for a lot less. Sad there weren't more done like this one, no doubt that this one was sold at a loss considering the craftsmanship and hours put into it.

AND, don't forget about Vlad. I don't think he completed his swap, but lots of great info:

As far as S vs Base, from the transmission forward, I really don't see any difference in the mechanics of the swap.
