Re: what to get, what to get
If you don't have SFCs, then get them 1st.
Re: what to get, what to get
I would begin with fixing/replacing anything that is broken, worn, shot, or looks like pure hell
This usually inculdes the struts that hold up the hood or the rear window, brake light bulbs, window motors, weatherstripping, door hinges, door handles, upgrade headlights to at least silverstars, windshield if its damaged, rust spots, etc.
And I agree with getting SFCs, its the #1 upgrade for these cars.

Re: what to get, what to get
Don't mean to hi-jack but this could declare another vote for SFC's
My floor pans are patched over, right under my seats. Should I wait until I have my floor pans replaced (full replacement through hawks, $500 for both sides) or could I still get a set and not worry about problems getting my old rusted floors removed and new ones installed?

As for you _firebird_ , Put the cash into whatever needs replaced like Firebat suggested. Maybe give us some more insight on where your car stands as of right now. Then maybe we can better help you spend your cash lol
