Thanks for the comments 
1 x small update. Not too much has happened.
Found that the rear windscreen wiper stalk differs between airbag and non-airbag equipped cars. Found a very cheap replacement on E-Bay.
You can see how differently angled the original was.
Replaced the cruise control stalk as well. (Original is below)
Managed to source the rest of the tools.
Added some lower door mouldings.
Then took it to the BMW Car Club Concours.
As well as the other one.
Resprayed a spare wheel to test paint colour etc.
Then sanded and sprayed all the rest for the Turd.
Tried some Mpars.
Stars back on.

This thread is amazing, such great work being done. Love a good wagon they are too rare and unloved in SA

Put your glasses on
@Uber Soldat Please please please don't paint his car. The concept is so epic with the mismatched panels etc but under the skin everything is beyond perfect.
Well done on this build and it is truly inspiring to know that people with this level of capability and attention to detail still exist in this world of "part swappers", "keyboard warriors" and "diagnosticians"

Thank you sir. They do seem to be somewhat unloved.
I have thought about leaving it like it is paint wise, as its so darn expensive these days to have bodywork done.
Thanks for the compliment.

I agree. I didn't think we have people capable of this level of attention to detail in our neck of the woods. The workmanship is epic.

It's definitely been a while since I've updated this thread.
Anyways. Some small updates:
Fitted some LED headlight bulbs.
Replaced the badly scratched panel thingy.
The original amp unfortunately had a fight with some water and lost. Replaced it with this Clarion unit and mounted it on the side panel instead.
Replaced the interior bulbs with LEDs as well.
Found a LHD touring to hang out with.
Finally managed to lower my fathers car.
And after yet another bath. Definitely think some spacers are needed.
