mate your opening an absolute truck load of worms trying to do bits here and there, honestly if you want it to look right get down to a reputable bodyshop and work out a plan to get them to do bits as and when you can afford. Honest mate i see so many bodge jobs and diy repairs that really let cars down, think of it this way you wouldnt rewire your house if you wasnt an electrician, leave it to a pro and then you've always got someone to go back to.

Hope this helps mate and if you still wanna do it yourself then, good luck, take your time and maek sure everything is prepped properly.

Haynes repair manual isnt too bad.
