as far as paint....wait for it. i got a VW from my dad's friend when i was 14. it was a Quantum Wagon and looked like a POS. i saved cash and by the time i was 16, i had a nicely warmed up GTI Turbo motor in it and was keeping pace IROCs. i woulda killed for an Fbod when i was 14, but the VW was there and it was practice.
like Al said, you need a plan. sit down one day with a notebook and write out everything you want to do to it. then price out the parts online. make sure to remember that the mods have to compliment each other. you can't put on 17x9.5s and not upgrade the brakes. start at the wheels and work up to the paint, deatiling everything inbetween you want.
look at it this way, i'm almost twice your age and have duct tape patching a hole in the front corner of my 96(Acura ran me off the road, stupid ricers), but the car hauls. body work is the last thing on my mind, and my shop has it's own body shop!
