Ok I have some money, but I would like some info

Ok in one month, I will definetly have $1000 maybe $1200 stuffed up my butt.
What I want to do is make my car look better, but I really want to get more horse power in to my car.

I really am tight in money so all I'm going to have will be 1000-1200 to spend.

right now the mods that I will have in my car are :clear corners, FSB, better than stock lights, altezza tail lights(will transform to skyline style), short trow shifter, and the warpspeed Y-pipe.

You can check my car at car domain, I took some pictures, still wet right after a car wash, as you can see I have a bunch on rust spots.

So me question is, what should I do with this money? fix all the rust on a body shop and repaint the car or put something to give me a ton of horse power...

By the way the car has 175000 miles.

please, tell me good/all options you guys can think of, because I'm really going to do some changes in the car, but I don't want to be sorry after I do it.

IMO, get an intake and drop that think. It will definately help to get some wheels too. Get rid of the altezza's also. This is just my opinion. I am sure the altezza's are all the rage among the highschool crowd.

Fix the rust man. I have some on mine, around where the spoiler bolts to the trunk and at the bottom of my fenders. If I had money I'd get that fixed.

My advice to you is that with 175k miles, before you spend a dime on it, make sure everything is good on it. You dont want to blow all your $$ and then need $$ for repairs.

Ok, Thanks, by the looks of what you guys are telling me, I should:
1- remove the money from my ***
2- drop it ~$900
3- Check for problems on the engine ~$300
4- no I won't sell my tail lights (I don't really like them right now, but they will look alot better with the skyline job) ~$40
5- rust (I have rust on the spoiler too, I hate that looks terrible) ~$400
6- put some wheels ~$1000

Total = $2640
Price I paid for the car $2700

well I'm thinking about saving all my money, and wait until I have money to buy my Ferrari or just put some and play with the car while it lasts.
but thanks for the Information.
