Remember that everything that you'll plan to do has been done before.
I'm sure thet you have a vision in your mind of what you want the final product to be. make sure it's realistic (ie a 1000kw (say) celica will never be a daily driver) if you're after a daily driver, go for the reliable mods that match the power you'll be putting to the driveline, so that things don't break too often.
I use Word and made a few headings
Engine
Driveline
Brakes
Diff
Suspension
Body
Interior
Then under those headings listed things I'd like done to the car, a wish list if you will. Start with the obvious ones like the engine, and use the search feature of these forums and find the people who have done it before and look at the setups of their cars and add those things to the list even down to the vehicle code that the washer bottle bracket came from. and look at the problems they came up against and the solution they came up with and you'll be a step ahead and save some cash. There is an absolute weath of information on these pages, Use it Very Happy

Have a look here to see my plans and Aim for the project.
