Default Procat rebuild

Found this one in bits, it was my dad's and he always struggled to keep up with maintenance due to working long hours, partially stripped after his last race meeting he obviously never got around to cleaning and re-building it so I decided since he's not around anymore to spend a bit of time restoring it and was pleasantly surprised how much of the old knowledge came flooding back and how well it cleaned up and went back together. I half expected all the plastic to have gone brittle but it's come up almost as good as new. There's a few homemade upgrades that the keen eyed might notice, time for some pics...

That's cleaned up very nicely.

Regarding homemade bits, i'm thinking:
1) Alloy 'Z-bracket' mounting for the rear shock tower and camber link?
2) Rear shock tower?
3) Alloy eccentrics (Various 3rd parties made these, but these look a little different)?
4) Wing mounts?
