Ok here is what I know of :
There is a creaking noise in the front end. I originally thought just bad tie rods so replaced the inner and outer tie rods, which helped steering but didn't get rid of the creaking noise.
Bit of rust in lower section of guards. Apart from that clean.
Some funky electrical problems.. Basically the whole dash is dead (oil, water, fuel). I think it is just a bad earth, but the car is $100 so not going to spend half a day fixing it for that!
The 5me conversion was a 1 day job.. So the ECU is just sitting on some little parcel shelf under the dash. Electric thermo fan turns on with IGN. Needs some temp switch rigged up.
Apart from that should all be good. My mates been driving it around for the past 3 months or so and he said all going well still.
So yeah... The good things though 
New radiator
New battery
New inner and outer tie rods
New clutch
170,000km injected engine! Goes hard!
Cheers
Joel
