OK well I fired up the 260c today and it runs as sweet as it did when I last tried 6 months ago... which is to say - not very well
HOWEVER, it does run and I think once it warms up it will idle, which is all it really needs to do at this point.
I've fitted the rear door cards and most of the door trim bits, as well as cut the edge of the carpet so I can put the edge trims on.

The new carpet, floor mats and black plastic bits look amazing.
The plasti-dip black paintjob with bird dirt all over it... again, not so much

If the car is fun and reliable to drive then it may get a proper respray, but for the moment I just want it working and on historic rego so I can move it around occasionally.
Tomorrow I'd like to finish most of the interior and *maybe* give the car a quick wash to see what I'm dealing with.
That should be all the car needs before it can go on H plates
