Paint, turbos, interior, port match and polish the entire induction system, rediculous head work, tuned to perfection, then use the rest to hire a high end suspension guru to retro-fit a BMW brake and suspension system.

I had that luxury and bought my wrecked 03 Cobra to do a mod swap into my 87 coupe. Of course outside of that expense is a lot more, but that 20 k gets you a running donor and then some.
