I carried on with the assembly this weekend, the plan was to do the dash paint and then crack on with the trim. I needed to paint the ashtray too which I was convinced I’d primed. When I dug it out i had cleaned it up but not painted it. I decided to leave it until I paint the other bits that need doing rather than mix up 3 types of pain just for that. I dug through the box of bits that came with the car looking for the bottom half of the steering column clamp with no luck, Looks like I have mice tho judging by the half eaten carrier bag in there.

I cracked on with the trim then. There are about a million clips to put on, and you have to guess which ones go where on each piece.The long spear on the rear quarter was a nightmare to do as the clip spring snapped and the clip spun. I had to lie on my back and undo it with one hand in between the tyre and the body and the other stopping it from spinning. With that done I re-set the door latches to close properly and made a start on the window trim. Starting to look like a car rather than a project now. Feel good about it all.
