Is any one able to Revive My motorola Tel T-A-C 200

I Have A few Older Cellphones that no longer work. Since I cant afford to build my own Analog towers I figure some one out there knows how to modify the transceiver so it will work on a gsm network. I dont care If it requires extensive modifying of original parts or even if the guts are completely removed and all new hardware installed as long as the old battery works and the phone appears original. If you dont know how to do a Tel T-A-C I also have an old ultra classic II and a Nokia 101 that I would also consider resto-moding. What ever it takes. Even If you have information that may help, Dont give me that guff about it being impossible I WILL Find a way. any help is appreciated.

Since you basically have to create a cell phone to replace the insides, here's some starter material for you get to going.

As you know you'll be handy with circuit design, wiring, machining parts and more to get this done.

This is more than any one locally has provided. My soldering skills are limited but iv got literally a bag of old boards to practice on, Im so exited some one replied same day to such an obscure question but I guess I found a home for such mad scientist questions eh? Iv been waiting for the right time to crack it open and i think I begin construction immediately thanks to this information. It will be a long time in the making but pictures will be posted when its done. Thank you and long live Legacy Hardware!
