TR4/4A Interior Install Steps

I was reading thru one of the other interior install posts and someone had posted a rough procedure of steps to put everything back in. Anyone have any tips of what to do or not to do first? My thinking is:
1. Pedals (installed already)
2. Wiring Harness (Installed already)
3. Dash Pad (light glue)/Use windshield to hold down
4. Floor plugs/sound deadening/etc.
5. Heater
6. Steering thru firewall
7. Install Crash Pads on dash and then install dash
8. Tunnel Cover
9. Carpet Kit (follow those instructions)
10. Center dash support
11. Glove box
12. Speedo/Tach
13. Center gauges
14. Seats
15. Door hardware/panels

Hopefully don't mess anything up! Look right? I took A LOT of pictures as I disassembled over 2.5 years ago, but I'm sure a certain bracket may need to go in before some certain item. Also, can anyone confirm on the interior windshield surround trim whether the outer pieces overlap the upper and lower center pieces or do the center pieces over lap the right and left edge pieces when gluing them down? Getting ready to do mine. Thanks!
 
Not a big deal as they are pretty easy to rrmove of needed, but I would do the big guages last, as those holes give handy access to areas you otherwise might have to lay on your back for. Assume the windshield wiper cable and boxes are already in, otherwise move to the top of the list.
 
I'm still not there, but am putting together my own list. Will post below, in a separate post. A few questions on your list:
1. Is it better to install the transmission tunnel first, given it seems to be a pain to install?
2. Is it better to install the heater earlier in the process, given it is buried behind lots of other bits? (My heater was already removed when I bought the car, so I'm not sure what is required to install.)
 
My list - it is a work in process (the list, not the car!), so please take this with a grain of salt:
