Nice!
Clean build. Not feeling the love on the boat anchor 2.9i though (as much as I love the Cologne).

That mirror you have on the passenger side, Should it not be facing into the car, so they passender can try to put on her face, whilst you're
giving it beans 
Mate, that looks incredible. Top notch, I hope you can keep it looking that clean.
Really is a work of art, 10/10

Very nice looking car and the engine bay is very neat.
How have you mounted your brake reservoir? I've got the same one and there aren't any fixings on it. Yours appears to have no brackets
keeping it in place.

Hi in the middle of the reservoir underneath there is a web on both sides I made two bits of ali to fit and bent them at right angles and put a
rivnut into each and then made a bracket which came straight out from under the chassis rail this is also done so it can be unbolted hope this helps.

Coming up with a suitable reservoir mounting can be a pain. this is what I came up with.
From the top.
 
Reservoir mount from top
and from the side
 
Reservoir mount from side
which gave me
 
Reservoir fitted 1
hope this helps.
edit bit - Oh and there is foam padding between reservoir and metal so the plastic doesn't wear with vibration.

Excellent, thanks for that. I'd seen the webs, but as they obviously weren't used in the OE mounting I was a little cautious about
drilling them.
