Thanks for the input guys. What you say about the tensioners makes sense.
R K T, that may be the case for later model vehicles, but at least for older vehicles - which is all I'm interested in - the rules changed a few years ago and now a 25 year old car can have limited use road registration and a 35 year old car can have limited or full use road rego (may not be exactly those figures but something like that). So there are no dramas there - I only want to get what we call "Club" registration anyway. There's been a huge influx of LHD Mustangs, Camaros etc in the last two or three years.
mfyoung1086, I haven't actually seen one of the trumpet style oil coolers so I'll take your word for it. All I'm going off is reports that this car has been known to run hot. I'll try and put a little thermo fan on it to start with if I find it to be a problem, and go from there. The original photos showed the motor running but now I've got static photos and yes, it has an 11-blade fan on the motor. Going through the other bits of the ignition system should be really easy so I'll plan to do that first.
Found a 'fabspeed' airbox top in the parts section, $175, carbon fibre 'look' kinda thing - I think it's just plastic. Would it change the filter element to a non-standard one? I don't even know what shape air filter fits in the standard 911 airbox. I have seen these for sale as well:

I'm completely expecting to be in awe of the car when it arrives - it just seems silly not to save a few hundred bucks on postage of stuff I'll want later :P
On a LHD car, the high beams should point straight forward and the intermediate main headlight function should point a bit down and to the right. On a RHD car, the intermediate light should project out to the other side. That's what I mean about the headlights.
I'm about to send you a PM regarding shipping etc.
Thanks!
