Talking First Car

So i just bought my first car; an 89' corrolla SR5. 300,000 KM'S, manual trans. , rust around the wheel wells and the side skirts. but besides from the rust its in great condition. seller gave me 10 years of receipts and records so it has been taken care of.
Once the body is fixed i want to get new shocks and springs, and get the engine rebuilt. i can do the suspension work but i am going to have to pay for the engine work.what kind of money am i looking at here?. i have $1000 for the suspension upgrades and $2500 for the motor.
I am going to be driving it mostly on rough cottage dirt/gravel roads. pretty much learning to rally drive/drift/go fast in a FWD car.

Any help would be great, i dont want to waste my hard earned money.
