The windscreen was $367 installed by O'Brien.
I didn't shop around, so it could be more expensive than other options, but I'm happy with it.

How do you get enough fluid in the system if the filler neck isn't the high point? Do you rely on it drawing from an overflow?

Only ask as I was going to weld my filler onto the cooler tank itself.

I have a syringe which I use to add fluid through the little dash 4 fitting. It would be much nicer to have a filler welded to the intercooler as you said.
 
*EDIT*
I ended up making that change later. See here:

When I bought a syringe for removing brake fluid from the reservoir, I bought a spare because they were only $1 each. At the time I had no plans for the spare one, but now I have a good use for it haha.

My engine bay had a good clean last week while in the process of diagnosing and fixing a few small leaks, so I thought I'd use this opportunity to take some new photos!

That's a serious looking engine bay Rob! It definitely looks like it means business!
Nice work :-)

Looks good Rob. I seem to remember you previously had a full shield over the exhaust manifold, any reason for the change?

Because it was ugly!
I kept the part which protects the coil-on-plugs and the oil catch can hoses. 
Plus I cut out a rectangular hole in the stock engine lid shroud directly above the exhaust.
