RWC update:

both engine mounts.
car must retain 2/3 of original suspension travel (too low).
both rear rims damaged Buckled not cracked, good news :) picked up a set of cheap vt ss wheels and tyres for daily.
Tailshaft centre bearing.
ABS light stays on.
T/C light stays on.
Slack in gear selector (needs a tighten hopefully).

Starting work on it monday gonna need some $$$$ thrown at it lol, lucky I picked it up cheapish

No one ever believes me when I tell them this is a rule.

Not sure why slack in gear selector is a RWC issue...? That's a weird one.

Good luck getting all this sorted out and your car on the road!

Thanks jester I love your R8 man, the thing with the selector was that when it was in D it said 3rd on the selector and sometimes had to jiggle it in park to start her. sorted now and looking good to make vicroads appointment for tomorrow, tailshaft rear metal flange was cracked and front one was almost the same, centre bearing was shredded as well, all replaced with heavy duty items tailshaft cost was $570. Was told this is a common fault on ls1s.

edit: BAH bad news, reco abs module didn't clear the abs and tc lights on the dash, trying a new unit in the morning (hopefully its just a dodgy reco unit and thats all).
