I would say don't spend money on silly things until you know that the important aspects of the car are okay:tires, brakes, timing belt/water pump if it has some miles racked up, axles, etc. While you are making sure the car is up to snuff, you can think about what aftermarket modifications to do.

First, Welcome! smile.gif hope your stay is long
Completely agreed! If it is your first real fix and make nice car i would check and make sure everything is good as far as obvious things. Body in good shape brake lines are not about to burst, compression, change the oil, clutch, ect.

As far as projects, that more so up to you, or at least give us a more narrow idea of how of what you are looking to do, exterior, performance, suspension, ect.
And do some search (even use the parts data base) to find more your style and price options.
IMO after making sure she is running right, get your self a kit. whether it be splitters, lips, or a more aggressive kit like mine. and a CAI, and exhaust.
There are endless ideas you can come up with (trust me) smile.gif

I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop
