id go with engine work and when you remove the engine you could strip it back while waiting on your engine to come together you could strip and fill any unwanted holes and prep and paint and have ready for new engine then you could tackle bodywork and painting when nxt lot of funds allow?
 
Was going that way but now thinking send it off for paint can buy engine parts over time put it together and drop it in
If I go engine work now I'll have to gather lump sum to paint can't paint it panel at time :multijump:
