I have been in your shoes before. No good answer from my point of view. You will have way more into it than it its worth. I think you will have a tough time getting it done that quick. I have done restorations and prices varied from 20 an hour down to 5 or 6. The low end one was a lot more work than I anticipated and it was going on a ball park price.
The 20 an hour job came out around 6000, but that included 90% of the parts for a Deere b. However, I only showed the owner how to do it. He actually did a lot of the grunt work himself.

Good luck. Great learning experience and the next one will be easier.
