I hope you got it for nothing... because by the time you get it fixed you'll have a lot more into it that simply buying a good running machine.
I guess if you don't want any safety system on the machine you could go with all analogue gauges, but I think that would be a shame. The safety lockouts on that machine are all tied into the pressure pads in the seat and the seatbelt, then tied to the computer. Also, all critical inputs (engine temp, charge pressure and I believe engine oil pressure) are all monitored for automatic shutdown if normal limits are exceeded. I don't know what it will cost to restore that stuff, but it won't be cheap... but it's sure nice to have.
On top of that you need a fuel tank, hydraulic tank, air cleaner, lights, seat and probably a bunch of other stuff. I'd suggest that as a first step you pull the loader and cab up to get into the belly. Replace ALL hoses on that machine. In my experience with mine, the Aeroquip hoses have met their life span in 5-7 years. That kind of heat would have finished them. You don't want to do this cheap only to be back inside it a week later. Everything under that seat is an ordeal... Good luck with it!
