bodywork

thinking about getting ready for the body resto im going to have done, but i want to do as much as possible as my tax return limits how far i can go.
basically my hood and front facia are f***ed, i was able for 60$cad get used ones. they are better but the facia has some small cracks and the hood has no rust but small scrapes/dents
my quarter panels and rockers are shot. they need to be welded.
my headlight bar needs the two top bolts epoxied back in.
and i have replacement emblems.

so basically...is there anything i can do to the facia to help my bodyman along? right now all im looking at doing is dissasembling the thing for him to save time. (front clip and doors)

anyone here have a good cost effective body restoration?
my budget will be around 1850$cad and im getting a guy that owns his own body shop to do it, last year he gave me a quote of 2g's but he said he charges 400$ to gut the car to do welding on the interior of the car. i have a dime sized hole in my firewall, thinking about just pulling the carpet grinding off the rust and fiberglassing it.

maybe im just babbling because im starting to get tired of the towncar.

anything anyone here has done to help the porcess go quicker and cheaper?
