would be interested to know how you get on with this. Iam in the same situation with my ute. I have been told it can be done. I think maybe a pannel beater would be the place to ask

so does the temp get really hot?

Hmm so the main problem is the overheating.
1. Could be the water pump. If you can see the water flowing across the radiator with the lid off not the water pump.
2. Could be a head gasket. With the cap off look for bubbles at idle

If you count the barbie as a car project you have finished one

Sorry this is no help
just wanted to point out the irony
