I hear ya, mate. Well done though, it's a very inspiring build.
You will probably have a love hate relationship with the Grand too. For me it's love, haa..haa.. whatever's wrong with it is just a fix away really.
Niggly things are well documented. I would probably suggest an Addco rear anti sway bar to the list if it's not there already.
The motor is prone to dropping a valve seat or two, so if you get a chance to change the seats, peen them or just take real good care of the donk, don't over heat it ever, hopefully it'll take you to 300k kms or more.
More stuff on ironman4x4... Andy does some great stuff for the Grand. He replies promptly to questions too.
If you're in Brizzy, Murchison OR does everything, pretty much, including ceramic headers..
For an inside job, Alpine double dins are there to pimp your ride. Rectangular fascias or bezels are on fleabay or amazong.
