Time for another update. With the wiring loom in place, the painted pedalbox was assembled and bolted in, then we cleaned up the steering column and installed that to. The assembled heater box and fan unit were then bolted in. The dash was retrieved from storage, the gauges were checked over and installed along with the refurbished dash loom. Then it was bolted into place. The centre console was also sat in place, but it needs some love... We also installed the new tail lights from Resurrected Classics along with the finishers that will be painted in gunmetal as per factory: Les @ LCR also finished rebuilding the original 3.9 R180 diff. Les said the CW&P were in remarkably good condition and that it had been rebuilt previously with new bearings, but it was FILTHY inside apparently. It was stripped, everything was hot tanked, the wipe was checked on the CW&P, the housing was repainted and the aluminum components were hydro-jet blasted. New seals & gasket, plus re-plated bolts. Almost looks too good to put back in the Z... We then decided to install the (dummy) engine + carburetors and gearbox to check fitment - thankfully no issues. At which point I couldn't help myself, so I bolted on the wheels that it came with and rolled outside for some glory shots:
