I agree with having a plan and painting the dash inserts. I never realised how big of a difference the colored inserts made untill I saw a stock dash again.
There are several good places to get rims/tires(whalentire.com, tirerack.com, wheelsnext.com...). I would suggest looking at peoples sigs and profiles and deciding what style you like.
First upgrades depend on what you want. If you want it to look good, go with rims and a body kit. If you like sound, go with a new head unit, amps and subs, and better speakers. If you want performance, start with an exhaust. If you want handling, start with a strut bar and then save for a coilover kit.

Being a 94 though, I'd start by getting it back to factory specs. The suspension bushings are probably worn, along with the end links for the sway bars. It might need a timing belt, plugs, and wires... Basic maintenence should come first, and while you're doing that you can come up with a good direction to go in and get familiar with the car.
