Finally had time to work on it again. Subframe with diff is on the car now. Pleasant surprise of the day, all the mounting points for the various multilink components are on the chassis and threaded from the factory. They are just plugged up with some plastic plugs. No spacers needed anymore in the back now too, with the mk2 hubs in there. Had these wheels mounted before with 32mm spacers. Nothing needed now for them to fit.
This pic is just as a mockup. Cleaned and repainted everything now before bolting these on the car.
All the old bits that came off (will all be for sale soon):
All 3 types of fuel tank side by side, the 60L live axle one, 80L 960II (multilink mk2) and the 960I (multilink mk1) tank
The panhard support needs to go for it to fit, on both sides of the car. Driver's side will hit the subframe and on the passenger side the exhaust won't fit otherwise.
Had to cut out some parts of the spare wheel well. With the Volvo diff this is not necessary, but the E36 diff sticks out the back quite far with the mounting points.
Everything bolted on (minus the big trailing arms) just to see how it looks.
Bit of camber (can still be adjusted a bit):
