Driving the car, sorting out all of the "birth problems" with it.
The biggest problem is the lack of time. I haven't touched the car for months now due to it.
Had my interior trimmed in leather and alcantara in the meantime.
Before:
After:
Did the steering wheel trim myself because it didn't take me much time.
That's it. Car hasn't been on a dyno, haven't made enough km for the brake in period to be over, still using brake-in oil...
Current interior of the car (using Clio 1.2TCE seats, steering wheel)

I did just the plastic trim.
Not taking credit for someone else's work.

I had the steering wheel, all seats, gear knob and the gear knobs trim in leather.
Even arranged to have the hand brake lever and it's trim trimmed in leather but still haven't got the time do remove it and send it for a retrim.
Not to mention the side panels - still thinking about that (don't have the time/will to remove them).

Couple of old pics:
VEMS SA ECU installation.
Wash
New (old) plates after more than a year under construction.
Glad that the IC can't be easily seen. Even had the clamps in black.

Mega update there mate.
As everyone else has said, the retrim looks spectacularly good. Superb choice.
Car looks bloody amazing on the gold OZ Alleggeritas. Really great choice. Having just done the move to lightweight wheels I know how good they will feel too.
Love the current interior shot!

I have more than 2000 pictures and couple of hundred of videos.
Thought of posting some of them when all work is done but at the current pace, that wont be so soon.

Fantastic car.

Finally got through the "birth issues", and got some time with the car so now it's ready for the final tune. Eventually.

Nice one. How long until it's back on the road? Be sure to put up pics and the spec!

Removed the Clio 1.2TCE seats and the steering wheel and installed my retrimmed seats, steering wheel and the gear knob.

Hopefully in the next 2 weeks.
I would like to go to Russia knowing that everything is OK with the car.
But everything goes slowly with this project due to my lack of free time and the fact that most of the parts need to be built.
I have more than 1200 pics. Will post some when/if all is finished.
Aiming for +400bhp but I want the ideal as possible torque curve and not a dyno queen car.
