As Kyle said, not knowing what is there and what out of all that stuff is still usable, and seeing as you are trying to build a car out of a pile of parts, I would start with the lowest amount you feel you can try. A S2 restoration from a pile of parts will probably cost you more in the end than the car will ever be worth, so buy in as cheap as possible. I personally wouldn't go more than $1,500 on a pile of parts, but that is me and I restored a complete running and driving S2 that was purchased for less than $1,500 and still lost my shirt in the end.
