Channel 4's coverage of Monaco and a nice sunny day was too tempting, but I still made some progress later this afternoon.
Had to finish the drivers seat leather work first and TBH it's a bit of a curates egg and rather patchy; I suspect I need to do it again soon.
Much of the wiring is now fairly tidy and most major (and minor) components are fixed in their final places.

Just the TV tuner to site and cable up now before putting the knee panel (with XCarlink) back, if it still fits!
Also did a quick functional test before tidying up for the day and everything is still working.
