I think you are still quite a bit far away from finish. There's all the piping from the exhaust manifold that is still missing, then there's the intercooler that I don't see either, and from the pics look like the ECU is still a huge mess also all the lines to the radiator are not there yet. I say you are maybe 50% finished.
It will be a scary car when it's done htough!

How are your hands after doing all that heat wrapping? I did that on my last car. Not sure if I would do it again just for maintenence reasons, and a little bit of lazyness.

Is this for daily driven? If it is I wouldn't suggest wrapping the turbine and exhaust manifold. Moisture will trap in there and cause your manifold to rust really quick. There is a new coating that you can apply on the manifold and it would reduce the heat about 25%. I'm glad your project is coming along.
