Fitted a new battery master switch cut-off pull cable.

Put a new plastic-chrome trim strip down the LH side.

Modified the navigator's instrument panel to take a new digital clock/stop-clock.

Fitted a new A-post capping strip to the RH A-post using Tiger-Seal. It is now ready for painting. I always fit the strip before painting as if you paint it first, the paint can chip off when fitting it.
