well i guess first off what car do you have? and how much cash are you working with? are you mechanically inclined? can or could you build your own motor? how fast do you want to go? those are a few of the questions that i would start by asking myself.
cost is always an issue..

too post pics, you can use www.photobucket.com upload the pictures and take the URL code and post it here. Or you can go to "Go advanced" (under the quick reply box) and upload them as an attachment. But to answer your question, I'd get the body work done first. and then use your extra change to build your car.
