Nearly at the end of the journey and what an expensive and frustrating one it has been...

Yeah, the money soon mounts up. You budget for the big parts but it's the small ones that soon add up.

Nice work.

I would have changed the bottom pulley bolt though TBH as the torque they require is massive so stretching and re-tightening isn't ideal. Cam bolts will be fine though.

Sod it in that case!

I have only skimmed the last page. Are you going with standard induction? I recall you asking about cams so I assume you are on standard internals?

Yes, it will make things worse.
Either put both front/back on or just the back, never just the front.
Another mistake people make when doing a c20xe/let conversion is putting stupidly higher poundage springs on the front, which also makes more understeer.
