Cheers guys, just fitted a set of labels as a finishing touch for the bay.
I was waiting until it ran properly before I fitted them!

Sum total of yesterday evening and an hour just now….
One rear light.
Just fiddling with wiring, sorting decent earths, helicoiling the lens mount in the crap monkey metal housing, shaving down the seal…on/off/on/off…
Fits now anyway!
Rinse and repeat on the other side tonight.

Cheers guys, just got the other rear light in, that’s enough for tonight
So much fettling! Less this side though didn’t have to shave the seal.

All the rear trim is now in, seatbelts in (for now), amp and USB wiring stuff done, and finally number plates roughly cleaned up and repainted.
I’m hoping to buy OFL 183K in a forthcoming DVLA auction so will get new plates made up then.
I found the seatbelts to be past their best so new inertia reels are on order from Quickfit Safety for the front and some laps for the back. Don’t expect the rear ones to ever be used but need to fill the holes!
Back of the car is just loosely together for now as I’m waiting on new bumper to body seals.
