As random as it gets!
What are you planning on building...........
Garden furniture?
BBQ?
Garage?
Greenhouse?
Or a car?
If its a car then you will not have much call for a jigsaw, it will see comparitively little use compare to tools like
Spanners,
sockets
Rivet gun
Screwdrivers
Pliers
mole grips
grinder
hand files
Dremmell
hammers
cordless drill
drill bits
welder (optional depending upon build type)
tri squares
rulers
G-clamps
sharp knife
hacksaw
im sure there are some that i missed off

hi, a jigsaw is useful for cutting out the metalwork for the floor and sides, like you say a rivet gun is a must. apart from that its generally just
spanners, sockets, screwdrivers etc

and you forgot lots of patience,
And and email link to this site if you get stuck,
Failing that a very big hammer always does the job
But as your down the road can always borrow if i have something you need,
Cheers

Minimum list I can think of:
Socket set
Spanners
Screwdrivers
Crimping tool
Wire stripping tool
Hacksaw (large)
Multimeter
Persuaders of various sizes (small hammer, rubber hammer, f'ing big hammer)
Allen key set
A nice big file (for filing glassfibre not storing paper )
£250 for the bits to make the car 
Hand rivet gun
Mains powered drill
Lots of drill bits (esp those for the rivet size you are using)
Tin snips
Loads of time
Patient significant other / divorce papers

As above but I'd have struggled at various stages without an impact driver (and a big hammer to crack it with) and a tap and die set.
Oh and a wooden/rubber mallet unless someone already said that?
Edit - Oh yeah and a brake pipe flaring kit for when you drop something on the existing pipe like I've done twice now!!

10mm to 32mm is the common set and you'll use most of them on a build. Individual sockets work out expensive. You'll need a breaker bar
and a Sierra drive shaft nut socket but you may be able to borrow that.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
