Well, the rear clamshell still doesn't fit but at least it has a proper hinge on it now so it can be posed with the clamshell open or removed. That's enough, I'm moving on.
So the body is back on the chassis and a load of little stuff has been fixed, mostly fixing stuff that fell off or got damaged with all the manhandling. Headlights (10 pieces each, including 4 rivets, 0.5 mm diameter), fog lights (4 pieces each) and the wiper (5 pieces plus an actual strip of rubber) are now installed.
Doors are complete and the hinges will be glued into the body at the absolute last minute.
My to-do list is getting increasingly short. Along with gluing in the door hinges, last minute stuff includes the gas caps, exhaust tips and a decal for the clamshell. All easy stuff which leaves me with the need to spoke up the 4 remaining wheels (it has a spare, for which I will have to make a tie-down strap). This requires some Zen time. Stay tuned!
