In the last few months waiting for my GTR, I have been wondering where all the time goes into a 500 hour build.... in the last 3 days I think Ive worked it out:

100 hours unpacking (its REALLY well packed)
100 hours ass scratching/dreaming/standing there going "SHIT - its here and its mine"
100 hours answering questions from every kid in a 2 mile radius (young and old ones)
200 hours building


Is that about right?

You forgot the unmentioned amount of time spent sitting in the chassis, steering wheel (or 'air' steering wheel) in hand going broom broom.

100 hours removing sikaflex from your hands before you realise that WD-40 gets it off.
