Finished for now, doors all sorted and managed to pick up a good gutter mould on the way home from a short holiday at Phillip island through Melbourne.
Here is the updated list of things.

Problems that need addressing.
New gaskets for sump and intake and rocker covers.
New hoses and radiator and also brass intake bypass fitting, new heater tap.
Fuel pump and all tank hoses.
The usual VP defective heater core.
Replace bonnet liner.
Replace double sided tape on bonnet badge.
Replace "Holden" badge on boot.
Had mudflaps but are missing so might chuck on a set of VS ones I have, not correct but I'd prefer mudflaps than nothing. I do have VR ones with the correct logos.
Electric antenna mechanism seems to be detached inside the guard so need to take the liner out and have a look. Done.
Odometer stopped working just before I got home so I have ordered new gears for it. Done.
Left sun visor clip is the wrong colour so stealing the correct one from the shitbox. Done.
Boot lock doesn't open by cable when there is load on it, I have a spare lock I can use or buy a NOS one for about 60 bucks. Done.
Boot garnish is cracked but not sure if I will worry about it. Done.
Leaking quarter window seals. Done.
Tail light sockets. Done.
Tail lights. Done.
Replace dodgy front left door glass. Done.
Fix/replace/repair all locks and actuators. Done.
Repair door trim clips and damaged moisture membranes. Done.
Replace damaged/faded orange interior parts. Done.
Replace damaged left gutter mould. Done.
But the most exciting bit is my list of mods, can't have it stock if I am going to drive it every day.
Have new stock strut tops installed, super pro bushes all round except the rear lower control arms as they aren't necessary to change. New decent shockers. FE2 spec sway bars and nolathane front link kit.
VT front brakes and master/booster upgrade.
Pacemaker headers and redback cat back 2.5" system with both mufflers.
Mace CAI box plus my mods to it.
Replace valve springs with new stock ones, and new collets.
ZZP oil relief spring kit for little extra oil pressure.
Delete bellmouth.
The auto will get rebuilt as I never had one last past 200k.
Basically built stronger and better frictions, servo, bushes, reaction shell etc.
Stage 2 shift kit
Higher stall converter but I am not sure on what rpm to choose, thinking 2200 rpm? Maybe stick to reco stock?
Large stand alone trans cooler, PWR one I think.
