Default how to screw an rst back together again

after a paint job there are no insides to the car, but lots of trim bits and nuts, bolts and screws left in the garage. Any ideas how to put them back together again folks?

Go to a scrap yard and look at how the parts go together in one the old escorts there. Take some pictures? Write some notes down?

Pay me to do it for you?

The shiny, short but fat bolt goes in the hole underneath the window, just to the left of the hole it wont fit. Is that a start?

I'd start by putting the bolts of the correct thread and size in to the holes where the bolts go in enough to avoid falling out or sticking out.

That would be a good plan to work to

now i'm home and can type at plenty of words a minute i'll explain

car went for a repaint, nothing left inside at all

so it's not just screws and stuff, it's wires and all sorts, the only thing i can think i'll get right is the carpet, seaets and dash, but for everything else, other than getting the haynes manual to navigate with, is there some sort of exploded diagram ala ford's micro cat thing in pictures thatwould be able to help me out?

best thing to do is put the loom in first, as you fit it, it'll probably become more obvious....then heater box, then steering collum, then heater ducting.....

check out resto threads for pics?

EASY, staert with the loom and take pictures of the bits that aren't clear and post them up, loads of people on here will have cars in bits or know what is what.

Then do it with each bit you get stuck with.
