Mate, what a great second attempt, that looks sensational.
I haven't been here for a while and was only thinking last week its time to strip my T2 and get stuck it into.(Was thinking about selling mine too but played a few games and can't part with it)
Your work is very inspiring to say the least 
I have a small amount of insert cracking compared to what you have been through and your thread will make it a hell of a lot easier to deal with mine.
The decals you applied look factory fitted a real credit to your workmanship, I think I drank 4 beers ohhing and aghing over this thread.
Well done and thankyou for documenting it so well!
Can't wait to get stuck into mine now.
