Default What should I do to my prelude first?

Suggestions please. I have a 92 Prelude Si based shell and so far what it has is this:

All stock suspension and brakes.
Windows
ECU
All wiring
Taillights
Rims and new tires

What it doesn't have
motor trans
interior
front bumper or support
windshield wipers lol

Anyways I think I'm going to go with the motor and trans first. H22a1 Vtec Motor 5 speed. Do you think I should work on building it up first or what do you think I should do? I need ideas. Let me know what ideas you have and what you think I should do and don't do.

I would build it while you have it out of the car so you dont have to pull it again. Get your motor finished and the go with supension then worry about hte looks of the car.

theres a bumper support on ebay, it starts at 9.99, is no reserve, and has no bids so far. that thing is expensive and ya should prolly look into it. jsut surf ebay, people part their cars out all day. buy each part when you see it cheap, dont be afraid to wait for better deals. find a cheap engine and rebuild it, if you can do that yourself. h22 or h23 doesnt really matter at this point. the h22 will cost you more but with the money you spend on an h23 you can build it your way and if you want extra power later do a head swap or just boost it. oh, and go visit some junkyards.

I actually just got it today. I'm also planning to bid on a motor that is on ebay that I found. I'm probably going to swap a h23a motor into it. I already found all of the interior parts except the seats. It needs a paint job though. h:
Here are the list of parts I found and am getting already for the car:

Door Panels
Rear Panels
Rear Seats
Center Console
Rear Console (All of this for 105 bucks)

Motor soon to: h23a1. Just the complete block and head though.

Next comes:
Body Kit
Carbon Fiberhood
Rims
Possibly a good stereo, dunno yet what I want to throw in their.

Car is gonna be sweet once it's done.
