Woo Hoo! More progress! A couple of small jobs are now complete. The battery is now fitted in a neat and tidy tray.
The clutch cable is connected to the pedal and only needs supporting in the engine bay to be declared complete. The dash is back on, although I think only temporarily as it needs more work on the wiring behind it, especially if I'm going to route the horn cable to the stalk switches (sounding the horn on the front wash wipe is favourite at the moment.
Engine started and after warming a little it sounds great, good enough to get the car as far as an MOT.
