Well, I wanted to make sure I got an opinion from both sides, people who find app more important and vice versa.

To me as long as the car is in working order I would take care of the body work first. At least the car will look good until you can save to get a beast under the hood.

i think its better to have a beast under the hood first than to have a good looking car with no *****...1 word...sleeper! just my opinion but if i had the $$ to do much i would do it that way...

Who likes to drive in a beat up car? Im all for dropping parts on the motor, but id rather drive a car that looks good, which i know sounds quite *****-ish. But as far as im concerned, a car is a reflection of the person, if your car is all beta up, 3 different colors of primer etc..it reflects on the driver.....and not in a good way.
