Continuing...

Connect the rear wall of the Body first...starting on either side.
Fold the panel upwards, inserting the glue tabs inside the body...glue flush.



...
Repeat for the opposite side...pushing the panel upwards and into the body.
I've added some detail lines to the following photo, to help make the shapes more obvious.

Next, fold down the center Engine housing until it reaches the Body.
It does not need to be glued...just has to come into contact with the back wall of the body.



...
Fold up the lower floor pan extension towards the Engine Housing,
and insert its glue tab into the assembly.
Glue the side tabs at the same time, sealing up the Engine Housing part.
This also completes the rear of the Body.



...
Close up the front (center) Body extension in the same manner.
Hopefully you did not score across the upper strip of this extension?
Try not to bend the upper strip, and attach it to the lower (floor pan) assembly.



...
This completes the main body.
Once all the gluing is dry, you can burnish the edges and the seams with a smooth, round tool.
I often use the edges of my tweezers.
Don't round things off too much...but it can help give you tighter looking seams and connections.
Edge colour again (the parts you just assembled), just to hide any seams or paper edges that may still be showing.
