Sometime it just makes sense to have it done by a mechanic, rather than getting soaked and frozen ! Good to hear it didn't need much to pass :)

Godspeed stuff
there turbos are the same as any other chines turbo. Potluck. The only way to be sure is if you do get them, send them to turbo dynamics or the likes to have them balanced. That seems to be the main cause of failure on Chinese turbos

Alloy wheel packaging advice
pallet wrap around the tyre, then get some bubble wrap folded into a thick package taped to the face, a bit of carboard front and back then pallet wrap the lot. Don't that many times and never had any damage

just fitted brake booster brace pics
I wouldn't trust that brace, too many weak points due to design and thin materials

One for the drifters.....
Looks good ! One point though the LS has a lot of know oil supply issues when drifting that causes the bearings to run dry. Most go dry sump, I take it this trapdoor sump improves things ?

water temp stuff
water wetter, I tried it a few years ago but didn't notice a difference. Try waterless coolant, expensive stuff but well worth it as your cooling system wont corrode

which is the best v8 donor to use
The best thing about the Toyota 1uzfe is the price, blow the engine and you can pick another up for 300 quid, the rest of those engines are going to set you back minimum 4k to get into the uk, and then you need a gearbox. If you decide to go down the 1uzfe route I actually sell the DXF file to mount the 1uzfe to a 350z 6 speed gearbox and I am currently starting to make a kit to mount the jag m112 to one as well !!!!

cars been hit up the arse. advice??
I replied on your other thread about this, you can demand your car be put back to pre accident condition by other insurance company, that's what my cousin was told by his insurance company after an accident a few years ago

FAO any body repair experts
if someone ran into you then you can make them restore the car to its pre accident condition, you don't have to accept them to write it off. Same thing happened to my cousin a few years ago in his R33, guy rear ended him due to not clearing his windscreen of frost. It was a lot worse than yours and they wanted to scrap it, but he wanted it fixed and they had to do it by law according to his insurance company

3 inch mandrel bent alloy pipe is VERY expensive, tbh by the time you bought enough pipe to do your car you could have upgraded something much more worthwhile
