Good luck on that! I really hate to bring anyone down, but chances 
are that you're not going to get anyone to donate an item of that 
size and type to you. In this case, the problems are two-fold:

1. Unless you are an established non-profit organization, you 
probably wont get any bites. I know this sounds cold, but pretty much 
everybody who would be in a position of donating a car is going to 
ask you that one big question: "What's in it for me?" Usually this is 
answered with a tax deduction.

2. You've chosen to radicly modify what is regarded by many to be a 
beloved car. As you have seen here on the list, many people have 
strong feeling twards the cars. So stating that you want a car to 
outright modify may hurt the chances as well of someone helping your 
group out.
