I would say that if you were going to give it a bash yourself then definitely do it. Although it looks daunting at first - converting to a SS really isn't so tricky on these bikes (my first build was doing exactly the same thing on the same bike!)
However, by the time you've got it to a shop, to replace the parts, and the bits they recommend plus the labour will add up to the point where you might as well get something newer and ready to go (take a look in the classifieds section here).
TL:DR
If doing yourself - go for it
If not - spend your money elsewhere and maybe try and sell this bike on for a few quid to someone who will be happy to take it on as a project.
