My Big Red Bradley GT II

Call me crazy but I've always wanted a Bradley GT II since the 7th grade. Since life is short, I bought one. I bought it so I could convert it to an electric car. What I discovered is this 1970s fashion car came with some unexpected surprises. Can I get this thing converted, running before summer and stay on budget or will this become a money pit that I end up regretting?
