First, where are you located? There may be a few near you that might be able/ willing to help or provide guidance.
Second, I think a few of your needs are going to be rather expensive, for example the windows are going to require quire a bit of work ie expensive.  The AC shouldnt be hard to solve, I would replace the factory with aftermarket.
The battery drain can be found like this

the power steering can be fixed by adding the prius steering column....

If it were me I would attack them in the order of importance/ need

Hi thanks for replying. I'm in Memphis, TN. I really dont have the time or skill to do the work myself, thats why I'm looking to outsource. I dont even have any idea of the associated costs, just off the top of your head, what do you think my list may cost? Of course I dont want to spend an arm and a leg, but I really really want to bring the car up to a level that i can drive it, and I think that will be cheaper than buying a new sports car, or at least I hope it will..lol Let me know what you think, thank you.

I would suggest that you prioritize your list and then just tackle one problem at a time. Ignore cosmetic issues for now. Probably want to solve the battery drain problem first.... get it running properly first.

Let us know the first thing you want to tackle

Thank for your input. When I tell you I have NO skill I mean it..lol I also dont really have time to do it myself because i have to travel for my job so I'm literally only home 3-4 days at a time and I have other things i have to do. Before I traveled a friend and I worked on the car and did as much as we possibly could and when he ran out of ideas we got to a stand still. I will definetly priortize the list though and consensus is that battery drain is first on the list..lol

I agree with Neil, it would cost more than it's worth to have someone do all of that for you.  Some of those items are big fabrication jobs that should have been done the right way when the car was built.  I'd just tackle the a/c, electrical, and door popper problems and enjoy the rest as is.
