Where do u start when doing up a car?

Any tips on what to get sorted first? I'm getting a respray then want some nice wheels etc any tips from you pro's?

Answers:
That's just cosmetics. First you have to make sure that the car is safe, so having engine repairs, and brake replacements would be a very good idea. Are you sure you want it to look too pretty.it will only encourage car thieves.
Always work from the bottom up..kill the tinworm (rust) first.
Got to have a solid base to build on or it can look as good as you like but you wont get an MOT
Front end aligment first. New tie rods and wheel bearings are a must.
Then move to the engine with an exhaust system and cold air intake. Stereos and Paint dont make the car any faster or more efficient, so I would do them last.
yea, buy a micra/punto/clio/starlet/nova/. like the other boy racing shams, stick stupid exhaust on it,silly wheels that rub the arches, black windows, silly seats, K & N racing filter, Increase overall power to 86 BHP, drive down the road looking silly, get pulled by the police, go home. or just buy real car that you dont have to do anything with to look classy.Shams do stuff to their car, Please dont go down that road.,..
Tint-job, a fat stereo, custom seats, door panels, dashboard (top), fresh carpeting, engine details, lighting accessories, a hood ornament, some custom trim.
Start with the body work then go to the extras.
make sure the car starts/runs/stops/handles as it should and then think about resprays and wheels
start wherever you want if it was me i would start by, gettin allooys, lowering it, then go for a body kit, gettin it sprayed and so on good luck = )
get some nice alloys,not to big thow depends what car you have,phat sound system=head unit sub+amp all in one package,stainless stell back box or system,but i would recomend just back box if yu have small engine,dont bother with induction kits they are useless as all they do all year is either suck in hot air or loads of crap!dont do respray its a waste of money and effects value of car when you come to sell.These things should get you noticed enough without goin over the top buying all the crap you see in halfords/or on boy racer cars this is a bad image to have,as you get stopped by police or chassed by other drivers,do as ive said and you wont go wrong.
at the begining
