While I wait for the roof lining and a few other parts to arrive I kicked on with designing and printing an ECU / Fuse caddy, this will live bolted to the top of the glove box. 
 

 
The holes along the edge are so I can mount relays for fans accessories etc and a main power relay for the fuse block which will trigger off the key. 
 

 
The ABS did have a little cooling warp because its a massive flat surface on the bottom but it's nothing that will affect the operation. I've got the lid cuttently going in the printer now.

Bit more live action before the weekend, decided I wasnt 100% happy with the ECU caddy with only four fasteners for the lid, plus the lid was a little flimsy, so redesigned the lid, added two more fasteners and some extra bracing around the edges and middle, also printed it this time in PETG instead of ABS. The PETG had much less warping and ended up a nicer overall print.


 
So that's now in the cupboard waiting for final wire / install. My fan also arrived for the condenser so spent some time figuring out the best way to get that on the condenser, in the end I went with the good old fasioned constant pressure fastner method (aka springs).


 

 
I also ran a foam seal around the outside of the fan to help seal around the shroud. I'm not going with a complete cover fan shroud on the condenser as I want as much airflow through/past it as possible for the rad and intercooler behind it. The rad will have a shroud made up and the biggest thermo I can fit on it.
