Looks good mate
What intake u using as yours looks low like you using the k20 rbc inlet? As when i had the euro r inlet it sat the intake up high.
Like the way you done the fuel lines too. Ive started my build now cant wait to have it running. Well need to buy another shell but that can wait lol.

So more goodies arrived yesterday and I set about fitting them, password jdm flush washers and bumper quick release's and black type R weighted gear knob.

That is not a good thing to do - the anodising will totally shag up the electrical continuity that is meant to be there for an earth. They need to stay as plain bolts I'm afraid.

Apart from that...

the bolts are plain its the washers that are anodised and he could always put a plain washer under the dress up one

That's true, however every additional surface contact you put in place adds resistance and likelihood of corrosion build up reducing that even further

just be the same amount of surface contacts? the washer and the car body.

Yep, fair do's, if you have a guaranteed good contact between the crimp and the body, you're right you don't need the other path. But people tend to not clean the paint off under where they fit an earth, or those surfaces get corroded so the contact ends up being made through; crimp to bolt head - bolt thread to body (2 surface contacts).
If you have a washer fitted the contact surfaces are crimp to washer - washer to bolt head - bolt thread to body (3 surface contacts).

But yep, if the paint is properly cleaned off under that crimp eyelet and the eyelet is properly cleaned from corrosion, what's currently there will work.
It won't last though, so you should always have the extra path via the washer and bolt, which the anodised washer completely blocks.

So you could change it for a plain washer, but that is also less good than no washer.

There is contact beneath the washers as I had reemed out the paint for perfect contact and there's a plain flat washer beneath the earth contact
