Two weeks?
My advice would be DON'T PANIC
Do, do a list of everything, even if if takes a whole evening going over the car (and don't get intrerrupted by doing the odd job along
the way).
When you've finished making the list, make a start on it, but keep it (or a copy) with you so you can add to it as you go along.
Don't try and do three jobs at once (that's multitasking and it means three jobs get started and three jobs don't get finished )
Oh yeah, don't panic

Go get a full face helmet if it rains on the way you will need it! I drove mine to SVA in full Scottish winter rain in January. The road salt did
untold damage to the aluminium skin and started rust in lots of places AARGH!

start the coffee brewing, looks like you're going to need it! Oh and a pillow and blanket next to your car so you can get an early start.

Ditto...make a list.
Once you've made it, have a good think about the best order to do the jobs then cross then off one at a time as you do them. Get the big stuff
done first and leave adjustments and trim to the end. If worse comes to worst then you can fiddle on the test or have an "easy fix"
failure list. If something isn't going right, stop, have a brew and come back to it; Usually fits easy then.
I had 3 weeks and a huge list of jobs when my date came through. I was stuggleing to find something to do the last week. You'll be suprised how
it goes when you have a deadline. Passing first time is nice (I assume) but a failure is just a deffinatve list of jobs to do.

I would make a list as everyone has said but also take a note of all materials needed to finish and then check in your storage area and cross off all
the materials you have. Anything you don't have get it ordered straight away. There is nothing more annoying than being half way through a job
and not getting it finished because you were one bolt short!
Oh and Good Luck
my aim is to build my own locost wether it takes me a week or 10 years to get started, i'm sure i will sometime
