did you manage to do much yourself? i remeber trying to offer you advice on the sub-frame, did you put a new one in or did you manage to get the old one pulled?
i did as much as i could repairing a 16v that was a lighter frontal than your (from the sound of it) and its always always always loads more work then it initialy looks,
nice when its done and you know everythigns right, but there were alot of time when i felt it was impossible and i was going to give up.
