    Default VN V8 Where To Begin?

    Hello guys hows it going,
    Now i am currently in the process of rebuilding my VN Calais 5L.
    Now the car is driveable doesnt look the best and goes alright def needs some work on the einge.
    Now i worked out everything i need for my car including respray and it worked out to be around the $7000 mark.
    Now heres the list of stuff i am looking at doing.
    What order do you think i should go in,
    I am thinking Engine Rebuild first, but any help would be great.
    Heres the list:
    Turbo700 Rebuild w/ 4.11's, Mini Spool, 2800 stalley,B&m shifter.
    Bonnet Scoop, Aero front bumper, Respray
    Cam, Shaved Heads,
    New exhuast setup
    Reprogrammed Chip

    Now i wont be driving it much atm only when i need a car to drive so any help even stuff you wouldnt do or stuff i havent mentioned would be appreciated thanks.

    respray the car first so you can do the engine rebuild while the engine isnt in the car. and then do the rest. cheers!

    Do you really need the bonnet scoop or is that just for wank factor?
