Anyone ever rewind a motor? (series wound DC)

I have an otherwise good motor that I burnt up a while back (over heated it). I was quoted $300+ to have it rewound at a shop, and thats just a bit too much for me. But, I wouldn't mind taking a crack at repairing/rewinding it myself if its possible. Has anyone ever done anything like this, or know of a good tutorial online, or just tips or info that might help.
Here are images of the damage:



This is the other side (180 degrees the other damaged area):
