If it was me it depends. If I was building the car to be a fast car(mid 12's or lower) I'd do that first just because it's entertaining. If those arn't your plans I would do outside first so you have something nice to ride around in.

Does it run? If you're be driving it around, and it needs major work anyway, I'd prolly go ahead and get the speed stuff done. My daily rex looks like a POS, but has a heart of gold, so I've been able to take my time gathering body parts.
In the meantime, stay safe and hurry home.

That's a contradiction right there. If you have 6k to play with don't bother with a B16 unless you plan on boosting it.

I've been hiding because i haven't made any progress on my H2B in like 2 weeks. I'd imagine I'll drop into kills on friday though.

What kind of engine do you have in it now? Is it in good condition? You could sleeve a sohc and add vitara pistons and eagle rods. You'd be looking at under 1500 dollars for that and people have made over 400whp on that setup. If you blow the motor they are cheap. This would give you more money to fix the body.
