Progressive power steering sounds all snazzy but really it's a little control box that takes on input from the speedo and controls a solenoid on the power steering, reducing assistance at speed over 60kph. I noticed a bit of a change but nothing dramatic. It makes long sweepers at 110kph a bit nicer, and feels less light than the original steering.
Get a jza70 front cut and swap entire crossmember with steering rack still attached, then also swap over computer (located in passenger side kick panel) and wire it in.
Factor in new engine mounts (round ones tend to crack as they get older) and a new serpentine belt, idler pulley bearing, etc etc into the conversion cost. As an idea, mine cost around $6k, with the manual front cut $4.5k (auto's much cheaper) and all of the work being done by my Dad and I. Only things we got done elsewhere was wheel alignment and exhaust.
It took around 7 weekends, with lots of fiddy bit'n'pieces taking the most time. I have a swag of photo's I could scan in email if you like. After seeing all the work required you may decide to rebuild the 7m!!
