Body restoration: all at once or bit by bit?

Body restoration: all at once or bit by bit?
Hey guys,
Even though my project has halted, I still need some welding done and that pesky sunroof removed.
What would you say is the cleverest way around this:
1. Have all the welding and painting done at once and then get the mechanics running
2. Have the welding done but paint only in the areas later not accessable
3. Have the welding done step by step as required with paint at the same time
I know this is a budget thing, but bare in mind, my XJ-S has to sit outside at the moment. So no chance of protecting the paint until it is fully drivable again...
What's your opinion?

Get the mechanics out of the way then worry bout the cosmetics

If engine is out then repair underhood problems before installing but leave outside body and paint till all mechanical is up to snuff.
