Well it's been to long coming but the hammer is being dropped over the weekend coming which will give me 4 days straight days to get a good amount done.
I have been amazingly busy which hasn't given me anytime to do my car but I plan to get the headache parts out of the way this weekend which will put it in a position of just normal paint work.
Plan of attack this weekend is to fit arches and cut current arches to suit
Fit RA roof flap
Remove engine and all other engine bay stuff for painting
Fit new GT spoiler
Fit time attack splitter to bumper with stainless braces
Cut boot floor out and fit alu flat skin
Fit battery relocate kit in boot
Fit spec-c washer bottle with brackets[thanks Ty
]
That should be enough for now but if time allows I will start the relocation of the fuse box into inner wing also.
So big update to come after the jubilee weekend folks with pics of course

I will try and pop up that KS3 connector plus that overflow resevoir as well, so I had better see some good progess or you will be in trouble.

Got cracking today after finishing up on Jura's wagon,after getting the splitter attached to the bumper and trimming the bumper for a nice fit over the FMIC it was time to fit the front arches to the wings in preparation for cutting them to make a nice fit between the time attack splitter and arch extensions which imho came out extremely well.
It took alot of trail fitting and trimming along with fibre glass moulding to get them right but I have it at the stage for a thin coat of filler on top of the fibre glass now.
I also got the roof lining out and rough cut the hole for the roof flap so all in all a good effort today,also had a trial fit of the spoiler which I'm in 2 minds about right now so I will let you lot give you comments and take it from there.

Looking good there Ryan, you make good progress when you're left to it without interruptions from people dropping by with goodies.
I like the way you've chosen to have the front splitter and wheel arches fit together, it looks well done and far better than I would have thought (no disrespect intended either).
I think I would have to see the car finished before I would commit to the rear spoiler, perhaps a slightly lower spoiler (like the S202 spoiler) might suit the look better?
But like I say it all depends on the final look and with the front splitter, wheel arches with the wheels sitting in them nicely plus everything else in place then the rear spoiler will look in keeping with the look of the car you're aiming for.
Please yourself before others as us men say.

Thanks for the comments.
Today I got the N/S/R arch on but as you will see from the pics I am going to have to trim the edges and mould fibre glass to get the shut line up to standard along with getting both parts level with each other.
After getting the arch in place I decided to mix things up abit and get cracking a bit on stripping the engine bay of parts which went well with all bolts connecting things to the strut towers/chassis legs coming undone without shearing!
A good deal of my time today was spent clearing some space for the engine to live while it's out so it isn't in the way in the workshop and I also had to hand over Jura/latso's wagon and take his megane for work so not as much time as I would have liked spent on the car but got a fair bit done anyway so I'm happy.
Also thought I'd share a couple of pic's of some parts that arrived this week which will be used in the build!
Pics
My custom fuel distribution block[thanks Chris,CDF Racing]
Spec-c washer bottle with all brackets etc[thanks Ty,cannon fodder]
Roll cage[thanks Dave,Gooner]
Wideband AEM gauge[thanks Jura/latso],will be sent to Tim of JTinnovations in preparation of toucan fitting as I want to have wideband lambda control via ecu
