First e30! Looking for M Technica 2 parts...

Hello all...
First off, thanks to everyone who made this forum happen and all you contributing members for this database of awesome information!!!! It has single handedly got me through all of my night classes for the last 10 months.
This is my first post so your patience with my ignorance is appreciated. I recently started gathering parts and pulled the trigger on my first e30!
Heres where I am at:
? M52B28 short block (97 328i) w/ some odds and ends parts
? S52B32 complete motor (w/ electronics) and zf manual trans
? Front Lower Valance MT2 ordered this morning from N Ireland
? 1985 325e, open diff, manual
Car runs great as is with strong eta motor and very tight trans. I have decided to drive it as is for a while and build the future Frankenstein turbo on the side for an all at once swap down the road. I?d like to get the exterior converted to M Technic 2 in the meantime. I?ve only found the aforementioned valance so far. Any wisdom on this topic from anyone??? Any additional complications I will run into being an early model e30 (w/ the diving board bumpers)?
Here?s some pics: (if I can figure out how to get them on here)
