Vorhizzle's RT build "Suicide Wagon"

Some of you may know the story of this car some may not, a woman apparently shot herself in the driver seat hence the dent in the roof. I picked this up a couple weeks ago with the intentions of doing a clean daily build that has some get up and go but nothing over the top. I am big into function, this car will be the first that has a proper stereo that actually sounds good, has power steering and hopefully feels comfortable to drive. That being said here are some of my plans I will probably start working on this Saturday.
I am not looking to spend a load of money on this car seeing as I already have one huge money pit, but at the same time there are some nice parts I will be buying.
Currently I have the following:
Koni / Ground control set up. Grey extended top hats.
Vitara build d16z6 with full valve train
Precision T4 Turbo 63mm (may be going to a T3 after checking some fitment)
Tial Wastegate
50mm BoV
I also have 2 other Wagons that I need to pull some parts off of for it.
Rear diff bushings from VIP Performance
Blackworks lower control arms
Future plans:
Paint - I am going to stick with a blue still trying to decide on the color.
Swap some interior parts from my other blue wagon to this one.. Going for a clean OEM look on the inside.
My dad and I jokingly talking about making the rear doors suicide doors but it's still a possibility.
Power windows and locks.
Competition Clutch stage 4
Redo brakes, new calipers rotors and pads in the front fresh drums in the rear.
Do the actual engine swap and tune.
Rims: I am looking for a functional stance without being to cambered.. Looking at some 15x7 rims with an offset no less that +25. Plan on wrapping them in a 195 55 15 BFG g-force Sport COMP-2s. I run these tires on my K swap for daily driving and they have a sporty feel while still handling wet conditions (considering I live in Western Washington this is a big plus).
With all of that being said here are some pictures of the car as is.
Took the car on a Mini road trip to Spokane this last weekend. Drove real nice got about 32 mpg on the way there and 35 mpg on the way back.
Took this shot this morning in my yard thought it looked cool.
Pic of the turbo I have.. (Yes I have big meat hooks for hands.)
The koni ground control and the Blackworks LCA
That's all I have for now.. Some suggestions on wheels and shades of blue would be good. I was thinking maybe Laguna Seca blue but I am pretty sure that is the same color as Bisimoto's wagon and I don't want to look like a biter! Anyways thanks for reading. I will update this as I go.

Come out to the shop and help me :P lol
I forgot to post a pic of my wagon with the ATS Cups I got for it..
I know, I am just waiting on all the parts and then it'll be a shit storm of progress.
Sounds like excuses to me....then again I dont have any excuses other than I'm waiting for money to come in haha.
I am waiting on my wiring harness to come back from wireworx and then I should be ready, I may end up going with a smaller T3 turbo instead of the Precision T4 just so I can retain power steering.
