the build manuals are online - go to the MNR website and click on the links option - you will find the manuals there.
You will need the passwords for the 2 build manuals - drop Chris an email and he will sort you out with the passwords

Paint the floor. Your garage is hardly up to Mclarens levels of cleanliness.

Engine fitted already so you are halfway there
I have a set of 3 VHS build videos for a Robin Hood Series 3 circa 1997, absolutely no use whatsoever for building a car but will guarantee the lounge
TV.
In all seriousness that is one comprehensive kit, don't put any bodywork on until the last possible moment and when you do bubble wrap it to
stop annoying marks. Try not to use the scuttle as a work surface.

Looks like you've done what I did - a one stop shop with MNR.
Your kit spec looks almost identical to mine, with the exception of I went for the full cage.
If I can be of any assistance drop me a line.
Best of luck with the build.

Job number 1
Make a cup of tea and look at all your stuff..... very exciting moment that!
Seriously i found the 1st job on a MK was to put the rubber bushes in the wishbones (with rubber grease) and bolt them on the car.

Don't do that on a MNR - they'd all have to come off again. Footwell panels first!

How much did that lot cost you! 
With all the bits there, then it shouldn't take you any more than 2 months to build so make that coffee and crack on!!

That's a hell of an impressive kit - quite fancying an MNR as my next build.
Which model is it?

I know you said you were getting a comprehensive kit, but I didn't think it would be that comprehensive. Did they give you a jerry can with the
fuel for it as well. Good luck with your build.

Great shot with the parts spread out on the floor...
We don't dare to do that, fearing we will never ever remember again what needs to go where... 
Great kit, good choice of colour!
Ours is very similar, again, with full cage.
Let the build begin!
Although, if you are asking questions about the reverse, you must already be building... not fair!
First jobs according to the manual:
1. Alloy footwell bulkhead panels
2. Brake pipe / fuel line fitting
3. Wiring loom fitting
That should take you a couple of hours...
