That's great you have the h/gasket already, i bought my headstuds and bolts from rich

Can i post that? They were the best priced i could find at the time but the aussie dollar is pretty crap! Worth it though for the quality.
( i have a spare set but i cant sell them yet)

Yeah I considered getting them from Rich... Just the shit AUD is scaring me away at the moment 
I don't really have deep pockets at the moment, so where I can save a buck, I will.
I just need to get this thing fixed and on the road, I have a feeling the commonwhore is going to die soon, so I need to have a car ready to daily drive.

Looks like I'm going to need the studs ASAP.
Went to pull the Supe out of the driveway on Friday night, and she couldn't even make it down the driveway.
The damage from the shop is ALOT worse than we initially thought.
Smoke/steam was literally POURING from between the block and the head.
I had a cry, then I got very very angry. (if she was fine, she would have gone to a dyno day yesterday and taken out the MkIII award by about 100hp)
I NEED the Supe back on the road within a few weeks, so I somehow need to get her all torn down and off to a machinist this week sometime, and arp studs by early next week.
After that I'm going to try and upload a base map form the mapecu2 website that they have created for 7Ms with 550s and other supporting mods... From there I'm also going to have to have to get an unregistered vehicle permit so I can take her out and try and tune...
I have a HUGE learning curve ahead of me in the coming days, so apologies in advance for all the stupid questions I am most likely going to ask.

Ok, a few months late, but here are some pics of the seats. Still need to sit them in the sun for a bit to tighten them up, but everytime we go to do it, it rains!
And a random shot of my new muffler (much better than my gigantic 4" fart can I had on previously)

And...
the hg job has started...
Sam and I are at the stage where we are ready to pull the cams.
(taking a quick break for lunch and for Sam to go pick up a tool)
Some pics:
Before:
My new bonnet holder:
Some dodgy work we found (we found more, but omitted to get pics):
I helped Sam getting most everything off the car

I have a Titan hg sitting here (think it's 2mm)
We are hoping to drop the head off to be machined on Monday.
I'll grab some more pics throughout the arvo of our progress.
(This is our first time doing this, so I'm sure it's going to take awhile)
Btw - hg is def blown... Pulled off the cam covers and they are covered with what looks like the remnants of a capuccino mug.

Lol!
remnants = yucky!
Now you've said that, think I'm going to make myself a cuppa before we go back out to the garage!
