Order of Operations

My Turbo II is completely stock...and I want to improve every area. Trouble is, I have no idea where to start. Do I go with a rebuild (i have 146,000 miles on the stock motor), do I throw some bolt-ons onto the motor (exhaust, intake), do I improve the suspension? Do I rebuild the differential? Do I get new wheels and tires? Do I get a body kit and get it all painted? I want to do all of these things, but I don't know where to start...anyone have any advice? I dont have much money, and the bastards at my place of business arent giving me any hours...

yes i agree with that as well...theres not much point in spending a ton of money on your cars appearence and such to have it break down and leave you stranded
go with the rebuild first.

Intake and exhaust without tuning often leads to overboosting and blown motors.

why don't you do a compression check and see what kind of condition your motor is in and use that information to determine if you need a rebuild.
again no need to rebuild the diff if it is not broken.
if your motor is in fair condition i would do a full tune up and go with some bolt ons
