So far the list is -

Nice work Dec, this is going to look sweet when its back together! I've gone down a similar route to you, though not took the engine completely out. Front end is off as most of the back part of the bay is clean. Having all my metal brackets, engine mounts, fuse holder etc all painted with chromed bolts. You have my vote for the club stand at UD dude :)

Right grabbed a few piks today and quite happy as car is running again, Replaced a few of the visable bolts and noted the sizes im in need of

Filled both the coolant and washer bottle with blue liquids hopefuly to try n match the rims lol bit cheesy but atleast im trying!

Still gota source some blue pipe connectors for the induction to replace the red and fully polish the pipework along with detail the whole bay better but its getting there.

Iv also swapped to the BMC off my black gti

Anyway heres some piks -
