I think the estimate for the furniture might be a little low. The correct front handguard (if one comes up) on evilbay can set you back $300 on it's own. Have seen the rear handguards for the 150 mark, but a good foreend will go closer to $600, but only seen once in a blue moon.
Do what Tidewater_Kid did, stick it away and grab the bits as you see them. My Mk1*** restoration took 3 years, but I had the right foreend and rear handguard.
It will be well worth the restoration, but not your sanity trying to do it any faster.
