Set aside so much per month, and set down with a Summit or Jeg's catalog and start making your list. This way you will know how much you need, and what needs replaced. Start by pulling the motor and trans and detailing the engine bay. Clean up any unnecessary wiring, relays, etc. etc. This all takes time and is relatively free, so it will get you started and get the juices flowing. Good luck, stay away from a loan if you can. Most of us have been doing this for a while, and it is much better to pay as you go vs. having a payment every month. Good luck.
