Welp. Bought the car in 2016 and 4 years later finally decided to splurge and make the car as good as I can thanks to all you wonderful folks and this forum. I also replaced transmission 3rd-4th synchro's and shift fork during this time.

Suspension Setup
Intercooler mock up - Had to use spacers for crash bar and cold side was tight, but didn't have to cut anything other than the bumper.
Final product - Bumper already beat up after 150k miles so I didn't mind hacking it up a bit to fit the piping.
Engine bay - Might get SD tuned in the future and do away with the ugly recirc hose. Also have to tidy some things up. Functional for now though.
Gauge Setup - Had to use tiny flat head bolts to secure them to the top of the climate control. Might come up with some sort of bezel for a cleaner look in the future.
Case Halves with old crank - Thanks for the workbench @GTEASER
New crank, pistons, heads, studs... All together.
Trans was kind of tricky, but next time shouldn't be as bad.
I definitely skipped over some things, but just figured I'd share the major steps and interesting parts. Just about everything pictured was done throughout this year. Still in engine break in, but the engine, trans and suspension changes all seem to be working well.
This is a great car regardless of what's been done to it.
