Cant wait to start working on my Duster, but need lots of help!!

some of the things off the top of my head that i can think of that i want to do is raise the rear up a few inches, redo the whole exhaust with some mean sounding mufflers, add a six pack hood scoop, wider rear wheel and tire and top it off with a glossy jet black paintjob, but keeping the chrome thats on off course, this is just the stuff i have in mind for the exterior. pretty much how this is going to go down is that i let my dad know exactly what i want done and he'll get our family friend to do it. im about to get a full inspection done on it so i know any other things that need to get done, and i guess at this time i dont really know where to start, do i go from inside out or outside in? any comments from the pics? just anything would be greatly appreciated
