What is the best order to restore the interior?

Hey folks,

in your experience, what is the best order to restore the interior?

I still have the dashboard, the center console, the dash pad, glove box and the dashboard with radio and gauges ahead of me.

Your experience would help me a lot to avoid problems with the installation later on.

Thanks
Ben

Restore as is repaint/dye/replace? Or proper order to reassemble? Or something else?

I was perhaps too unspecific. I have already removed everything. I would now like to reassemble it in the correct order so that nothing breaks. The parts are all already refurbished or repros. What is the best place to start and what should I do last?

Awesome, thanks! The order of the fittings would be incredibly helpful to me. For example, when to use the dash pad and when the glove compartment etc.
