I set out today with no real plan other than just get on with it all. I started off putting the rest of the screws in the trim, then fitting the window fuzzie on the back door. I wanted to check the lock mechanisms worked as they should so I fitted the lock oin the drivers side, and took the handle off to give it another polish and fit the gaskets. The chrome is pretty much knackered on the handles, so I gave up and refitted it. I cleaned up the column clamp I got second hand, and bent it to fit the Flaming River column.

With that done, I masked up the inside of the car, mixed up some paint, and re-shot the dash with my Devilbiss spot gun. I did the column clamp as well, and the door jamb that I’d missed. While that dried, I stripped down the two rear light inner plates. Once they were cleaned up, I drilled them for the LED lights and fitted the new gaskets and lenses. By now the paint had dried enough to fit the clamps, so I did that and tried some of the new dash trim. One last thing I did before calling it a day was cut the steering rod down ready to pin and weld. All going great at the mo.
