Update:

I brought this car home on December 03, 2010 with no working engine, interior in shambles and pieces, not one electronic item functioning, no diff, and no working brakes. Today July 08, 2012 everything works as it should, the engine is strong, the interior is almost immaculate, everything but the radio (it's AWOL) works, pumpkin is in it's home, and the brakes bind like never before.

It took much longer and cost me far more than I thought it would but this car is now road worthy (less a plate) and I couldn't be happier with it. Next is paint followed by a repair of the cracked dash V2.0. I want to say thank you to the people who have helped me the most, especially JD (KRUKED) and Empire, beer shall be purchased if we ever meet in the real world.
