Thanks guys. It still needs more work, but now that the bodywork has been restored, it gives the project more of a "finished" tidy appearance.

Some recent pics.

Things left to do in the near future:
Have the bodyshop do the finishing touches to the paintwork so emblems and all rubbers/seals can be installed.
Full detail and paint protection.
Gearbox rebuild + Helical LSD
Fabricate and fit 2.5" exhaust system using the Magnaflow silencers I purchased a while back.

I was debating whether to install Mfactorys 4.6 final drive along with the gearbox rebuild. I decided against it in the end as I think it would be a headache for motorway cruising. I already have the "short ratio" M2P4 box installed. Am I making a mistake? Any opinion on this is more than welcome and appreciated. Advice regarding Mfactorys LSD and the gearbox rebuild is also welcome.

I replaced my Type S ATTs system with a Helical Mfactory LSD with stage 2 upgrade gears, a 4.64 final drive all in an M2P4 gearbox.
The shorter final drive is the best mod I ever did. The perceived increase in torque (15%) is amazing.
At 70mph it cruises at around 3700rpm.
It's a tad annoying but not bad and well worth it I think.

Thanks for the input Ratty. Just out of curiosity, did you notice any difference in fuel consumption after installing the 4.64 final drive?

It's too difficult to tell as I did a supercharger upgrade and the same time and now back to high output NA so I really only get 250miles to a tank.
I can get 320 miles to a tank on pure motorway but I honestly don't care as I don't do enough miles.

It will use more fuel though as you sit at higher revs at all speeds.
