Hell yeah, that would be a great but even if it is a bit rough... but with a mint bondy thats really tempting.

going slow, fixing up little things here and there
Yep, I feel the pain as well mate. Chasing up all the little gremlins so I can eventually just turn the key and not worry about the indicator that doesnt work, or the missing exhaust hanger, or or or...

They seemed way more understanding of that than the supercharger to be honest... it was weird. Go figure! I completely know what you're saying though, I've had some sketchy rides in the past and always kept them clean and tidy so theyd pass rego.
Meantime... I've got a bit of an update. The redback exhaust showed up on my doorstep, as did the bearings from ACL for the conrods. I also managed to pick up this on a trip past Supercheap:
The air filter is an obvious one... I didn't have one in the airbox at all on closer inspection. The radiator cap is a decent unit I've used in other cars before and will replace the completely shot original unit that is letting coolant out of the system, probably not helped by an old thermostat which I'll replace with a high-flow unit.
The exhaust hanger is fairly self explanatory, but the Aviation Gasket Maker is for reassembling the supercharger and bottom end of the engine, just to help stick the gaskets together and make sure there is a tight seal.
Lastly... I managed to get a 3"/14psi pulley. I'm not interested in buying an aftermarket snout for the supercharger or getting the stock one machined so this is as much boost as I will be able to run into the old girl with this setup. Planning to up the boost once the intercooler is on. Either way it should be fun!
