Little by little
Unfortunately decided not to participate in time attack at 17th of May as I will have no more than 2 weeks to do engine run in and I still want to get used to it and to be sure that everything is ok with a new engine etc
This is crazy. Loving your work though

Dash looks sweet and paintwork looks quality
Unfortunately it seems a bit too much work and I can't make it until first time attack 
Next goal - 31th of May. Can't wait to get it running... There are some small dust somewhere, but nothing really that bad. It still can be polished. 
..
(used) clutch plate. It's a bit smaller, but the mechanic said it's nothing wrong.
It looks great. Fitment is 95% good (a bit too short where bumper is changing a form if you know what I mean). Lip is from Carbenfibre.
.. ! 
Made a custom intake flange, wired everything, connected all the hoses etc. I had some pain as with this manifold some things did not fit in their places, so had to find some free space to fit everything. I've managed somehow. 
Nearly there with it so don't forget the start up video. Black engine vents in my opinion no 
however each to their own. I am a bit stressed to turn the ignition key I hope the engine is rebuilt well. There will be black front splitter some day as well. Engine sounds fine as far as I hear. I coudn't turn any gear on. But it was because the new clutch disc is a bit smaller and it touched the old places of flywheel and another clutch side (shame don't know how it's called), but after some tries the clutch broke in and now it works fine.
- the work that has gone into this is fantastic

.. That was a stupid mistake to leave old rings and now car is going back to engine builder this Wednesday.
all the best can't wait to see it/hear it. The engine is disassembled and the rings are totally worn. Why good news? Because pistons and cylinder walls are good, so we will only change the rings and it will run again .. There were some very small signs on bearings.- cylinder clearance - it's about 0.09mm. The other guy said me recommended gap for wisecos is 0.07mm, so here we have even bigger. New rings have almost no gap at all.
For now it looks good apart of strange idle. Idle looks like with aftermarket cams, revs are flowting and vacuum is around -40 on idle, when it was around -55 before. But it could be because of spark plugs that were fitted by engine builder, because mine NGKs were damaged because of faulty rings. Fitted door cards to fit a roll cage. It was very simple on passanger side, but more difficult on driver's.
