Christian,
"NO EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER ON CARS" wants me to advise you to find someone that does have experience. This is not like changing a flat tire and more than general knowledge of things mechanical is needed. This will be an open can of worms for you as a first car project. Really, find someone that is not out to screw you and pay for the job to be done. The monies you were quoted sound crazy to me.
Good Luck,
Jayare
