It depends on what kind of car and how expensive the parts are and how rare they are. My Father and I rebuilt this old '69 Comaro, it was pretty awesome, but it wasnt perfect you know. :p
But seriously, it all depends on what kind of car, and everything. Also on how good of shape the body is that you are gonna put the stripped pieces on and stuff.

Real easy here in the UK.
All the parts area available remanufactured.
Many parts are available uprated and improved.
Body panesl, chassis, all the bits that rust are ALL available.
It's an easy shell to repair.
Engine, transmission and suspension are NOT rocket science :)

Rebuilt a GT last year for post-historic rallying.

Based on that another friend bought his wife a bag-of-bits GT of eBay for 500 quid and with some welding we got it built and on the road in a month. It needed some serious welding :( which was all done with NEW parts :)

Where are you based?
What year of GT is it.
What type ?
What do you want to keep or change about it in restoration ?
What do you want to do with the car after ?


Recommend having fun with it.
You may find the film amusing - http://www.iwsconsultants.com/cars/Reims%202004/Biggles%20does%20Monte%202004.wmv ( it's big tho' :( )
I couldn't make the event this year and so THIS video was on the company web site for his return :)
