Default how much for a full rebuild on s2

basically all the probs that might be associated with a high mileage escort, how much would it cost me to have everything replaced?

Is it mainly the bottom end that gets affected by high mileage, ie if i just bought a stage 3 head obv that would be the head sorted.

so what kind of cost and turn around time would i expect for someone reputable to do for me?
