You'll probably want a park tools repair stand (i have that one, it's cheap and it gets the job done), and the big blue book.
You'll also probably need a bottom bracket tool depends on your type of bottom bracket though. You might want to get a breaker bar as well (leverage is very important when removing these bottom brackets).
You'll need a chain whip and lockring spanner.
If you are going threaded fork, you'll need the relevant spanner wrenches.
Make sure you have a good multi-tool/allen wrench set. A nice tube of waterproof grease, and some triflow or other chain lube, and a degreaser. Also a good pedal wrench is good to have.
A 4th hand tool is really good to have if you are running your own brakes, plus you'll need a good housing/cable cutter.
If i can think of anything else, i'll get back to you, but that should pretty much cover it.
The only suggestion I have is to buy a high quality extension in the shortest length you can and still reach the socket. Also, don't use your ratchet on this you may break it. You should be using a breaker bar

If you want to build an AR on your own (grown man legos ftw) I suggest you build one. You can build a quality AR on the cheap. There is a barrier to entry from the tools you will need but from there on out you can use those tools for multiple builds. At a minimum you will need:
---
As for AR parts you can go pretty basic with an Anderson lower (~$45 not including paperwork). Or you can get a "better" lower that has build in ambi mag release, that tab that prevents rattling (can't remember what it's called atm), etc. The lower will last you through multiple builds. I'm still rocking the Anderson lower on this ~$4,500 build so it's definitely versatile.
From there you can also go basic with the upper, where I suggest an Aero Precision (~$65). From there you'll need a BCG, barrel, handguard, buffer tube (technical term is receiver extension), stock, pistol grip, trigger, and lower and uppers parts kits.
If you want something you can just go and shoot and don't care to modify, then buy a pre-built AR. If you want to build one to custom fit your needs then I suggest you put down the money on the tools. Best part about the tools is that you can fix and replace most issues that comes up with your or your friends ARs.
Also don't forget to buy some liquid blue and aluminium black just in case.
My breaker bar is probably the most useful tool I have. It's only $25: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001222378?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02
Additional Notes:
I hope this is the right subreddit. Putting this first because it is the important part. I am looking for a sort of project car but one for someone that has no mechanic experience. I have an engineering degree, but have never worked with automotives. My current car is good enough to last at least til december so I am looking for a car that I can work on until then and eventually have it become my daily car. I want this to be a learning experience so by the end of it all I will be somewhat efficent at basic mechanic work as well as tuning, performance upgrades, etc. I have never owned a manual car but desire this so that I learn how to drive stick as well as they seem to have the most viability when talking about upgrades and working on them. I plan on using 3k USD on the inital purchase but if I find something for less then the remainder of the 3k will go straight back into the car being purchased. I also plan on spending between 300-600 USD a month on parts to gradually upgrade performance and eventually apperance. The idea is putting roughly 6-7k into a car and make it a learning experience instead of just purchasing something I wont want to work on. I also have a mechanic that can look at the car during the initial purchase but any links that will help with identifying problems especially for specific cars will be appreciated.
Can you do Minor/major work on your own vehicle:
I just purchased a the following as starter mechanics tools
And also a Ball Pein Hammer and Rubber Mallet
If you have any recommendations other than what I purchased, I can still return any of these items and purchase others. Any other items I might need let me know. I plan on getting more tools as I need them.
Location: USA, Texas, Rio Grande Valley Area
Price range: Max 3000 USD for inital purchase
New or used: Used
Must haves: Easy to work on; Cost-Performance Efficent aftermarket parts; Ability to Upgrade
Intended use: Project car for a couple months; Eventually Daily Use
Vehicles you've already considered:
I am open to suggestions but am more fond of light cars with better mpg
Is this your 1st vehicle: No, currently have a 99 Toyota Corolla LE with 287k miles purchased at 170k and I put on the rest. I just had regular oil changes and minor things fized like sparkplugs. It had problem with the starter 6 months ago but banging on it made it work with no problems since then. No aftermarket parts and only problems currently is the evap cannister that I havent fixed and paint restoration as the clearcoat is gone aa I was ignorant on washing and waxing regularly as I live in a hot climate. It also has some rust on the roof and around the doors starting the develope. The corolla is okay, but being an automatic I assume there isnt much performance upgrades available. I also have the ability to purchase a 2005 Ford Escape XLT that works fine and just had a new cpu, tires and air compressor installed and has no current problems besides being Ford red in color ha
Any help, opinions are greatly appreciated. If you would like to mentor me during this process as well, it would be cool to have someone in which I could ask question and get definite answers as no one in my immediate family or friends are car buffs.

Buy real tools man.
Get one of these to start: https://www.amazon.com/Neiko-00206A-Drive-Premium-Breaker/dp/B001222378
And this or the big air compressor equivalent and high volume connectors if you're serious. Impact wrenches are less likely to break things as their hammer action is more uniform and breaks up rust. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008PN5JAU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474751492&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=electric+impact+wrench+1+2&dpPl=1&dpID=41rm-gKmKBL&ref=plSrch
