All parts sourced and purchased.
I will update this thread / speak to Peter about a tute thread with a master parts list and the best suppliers for major services.
I can highly recommend Kudos Motorsport in QLD, next day delivery (even though I'm in TAS), and very good prices.
Driftmotion, a US store, has a massive catalogue, and with the strong AUS dollar are also a good option.
And as usual Castle Hill were more than happy to help with the remainder of parts.
Also if anybody is chasing engine mounts, search for Ebay seller 'peterkittletoyota' (thanks evan for that one) - I emailed him and he sourced them within a day!

70 a piece is good mate, unfortunately they couldn't source them / none in stock when I enquired, but no great loss. Still got some for a decent price compared to retail.
To top things off I am paying my interior a note or two, with a new levoc woodgrain / chrome shifter and a perfect drivers door trim (consider mine looks like it was a pitbulls chew toy for months on end!)

Okay so this is almost done. For those who haven't experienced the joys of installing ARP head stud kits before, know there is an issue with finding the right socket. A stanley 13mm 12 point needed to be ground down and modified to fit the ARP nuts and clear the head.
All is good now though, looking bright to have the car back very soon. I will post some more comprehensive advice for whatever hasn't been covered before or whatever the search function can't dig up
