Wow that was a lot of work and I agree RL helps me keep my sanity too.
You deserve a first hand viewing of the car for all the efforts. It is truly a remarkable piece of work. The GS and his turbo are so much more impressive in person.
Wish I could add more pictures but all I have to contribute is the picture of the spare seats which are hanging next to the hardtop which is a priceless piece by itself.

It is mentioned in the thread above. the color was based on the panamericana and is the most incredible color I have seen. I hear that not even the people that created it can recreate it though.

Part of me is amazed- a beautiful custom car! The other part of me doesn't understand the point of this- with such low mileage and meticulous detail/cleanliness, it seems the intent is to make this a piece of art never to be driven? I have mixed feelings, but the first part of me is glad it's being built!

Keep in mind that, as Robert has mentioned, a lot of the work done here was to test tecniques and parts for high-end motorsports initiatives... and in some areas, to push the envelop with the engineers.
I too feel a bit sad the car will not see any use. But I am glad it exists and that Robert has been kind enough to share all the work done.
And I know, "It is just a car!", but it is an engineering marvel... just reading about the different materials used, the work done to build these parts, it is amazing.
Hope to see it one day in the flesh or the CF...
