Pan is now shortened to meet the body correctly and the tunnel has been re-arranged to move everything within reach quite a job but we managed to get a 40 page assembly manual for this build so that definately helps

Very cool 
but IMO you need to go a little wilder on the paint.....
Check out Fritz Schenk ( http://www.spritzbyfritz.com/ ) if you don't know of him already. Has done and is busy with some pretty wild VW stuff.
