At the risk of raining on your parade I'd be a bit hesitant to spend gobs of money on an 820. It wasn't one of their higher level frames. A budget rebuild to get you riding is for sure a fine idea. But the cost of powder coating it takes the project to a point where you'll easily have double what it's worth into it.
