Brakes first.
Then suspension and drivetrain.
Engine.
Cosmetics.
Purely MHO, but my reasoning is that you don't fix what makes
the car go fast (engine) before you fix what makes it stop and handle.
And you also don't spend money making a car look pretty when it's a lemon
underneath the skin.
Farm out the hard stuff, do what you can yourself, and take your time.
