I absolutely love this thread — it’s a perfect challenge for my project!
Hope it’s okay if I chime in with a small addition.
Strangely enough, the roll bar was never offered for soft top models, so there are no factory nuts on the B-pillar for...
Tonight I finished bolting up the exhaust manifold/turbo, turbo oil lines, and got the 3 inch exhaust laid out. Relevant part numbers for turbo oil union, gaskets, and exhaust cushion attached.

Long term update on this thread:

The LOCTITE method...
