First things first then, if you've got the money burning a hole in your pocket, get it out and put it in a saving account or something until you have parts budgeted out. Otherwise, you'll have it spent before you have everything worked out.
Second, get your rear to the introduction forum and start there. Once you've completed that, READ everything. Find folks who's builds look similar to what you want to do with your vehicle. Then READ some more so that you can ask intelligent, informed questions.
Third, once you have a solid idea of where you want to go with your vehicle, have a plan on what parts you want to go with, then dig out the needed funds out of the savings account and gather up your goodies.
Fourth, READ again, you'll no doubt miss things, learn something new from some of the older posts and flat out keep yourself informed of what might be a good idea for later if what you have at this point does not work for you.
Please remember, we're all about having fun with your vehicle, even if it's stock. Just not at the expense of having to spoon feed someone the information or having them cut corners in safety.
You'll find a much warmer reception if you follow even half of these guidelines
