mz21 soarer - looking to work/clean up

okay, first post here 
I currently own a 1987 mz21 soarer turbo, which ive had for a little over a year now, and love to death.
up until this week, i had only ever fixed things going wrong with it, such as an engine and turbo recondtion, an auto transmission recondition (couldnt find a manual kit to change over to in the time i could spare it) and just little niggly bits.
now the supra mags i had with the car apparently were half an inch too wide, and i was told i had to get 16x7.5 in order to stop scraping while in full lock turn, which i am doing by picking up a set of the mitsubishi gt3000 mags and falken tyres on thursday (look sweet, except for the mitsubishi symbol... thatll be changed over to a toyota one so yeah)
now its got me thinking about what i want to do with it, and all that, the main thing is i want to start cleaning it up, having a look at stuff to do with the taillights, kit, etc while fixing all the frivolous things that are wrong with it, such as a broken drivers side window motor, sensors, and looking at getting a new intercooler/turbo setup for it.
at the moment its all stock bar the blow off valve, exhaust, and intercooler, and id probably be running flat 14s if it werent for an electrical issue im getting fixed next week 
so the down and dirty is, does anyone know of places in brisbane i could look at that would do work on my car, and also, where i could source parts, both superficial body stuff (like lights etc) and performance stuff, like manual gearboxes etc.
for those interested, heres a squiz at my baby

Always happy to see another old school Soarer driver out there. Nice work! I've done a little bit of work to my engine, chuck me a message if you'd like to have a chat!

it cost me 2000 bucks, i was quoted upwards of 3000 for an auto recondition and 4000 for a manual conversion (with a non 7m kit). the guy i ended up going through was awesome, and yeah i saw the difference immediately. it went off the line better, shifted up and down much better and gave me a more fun drag/driv e:p
