Yes, I was waiting for 8 month or so for the body to be ready. All the restored parts are waiting... I even found the Synchron rings for the FS5C71A in Australia.

All Drivetrain parts powdercoated and waiting to putt on.

 

The paint is a No 1 Job I have to say. Zero Orange peel.

Some pics before I went to Canada for the Holidays.

1-5 is at the pickup and 6-11 is my place

all painted. Inside and underneat as well in body color.

Happy me as soon I come back i have to find a way to heat my place to start the assembly.

Welcome back its been along time, looks like it has had alot of work done, will it be painted when you pick it up?

how much more do you need to do before you can drive her?

Oh, Yes, It has been a long time.

Actually I don't need too much anymore. I already bought every gasket, bearing (and installed them of course) and screw new.

 

(exept the screws for the underbody. I will buy them as I need them and new Brake and fuel lines should arrive the next few days while I`m on holidays.)

 

The whole interior is already repaired and all pannels covered in black leather.

 

Now I "just" need to assemble everything.

Great color, I love it. It's only going to look better as you add parts.

Yea I love the color as well. It took me a long time to find this one within all the blues between 1970 and 1973 to keep it Vintage.

I also look foreward to see it getting better with every bit installed.

Finally I could start with the assembly/Panless(Full) cabling.

First was the realocating of the Fusebox and build a box around the fusebox to protect it from feets under the dash.

Take bundles apart to rebundle them for the Z. change it for Europe usage and not US. like flasher/brake seperated and no park lights.

next step is to build a cover to protect the cables at the exit of the box.

I ordered also a lot of parts from nix240 to install new Brake and fuel lines (4.75mm Brake, 8mm Fuel feed and 6mm Fuel back)

Hope to be able to work sometimes from now on, but at the moment I get just 46° max in my place...

Time passes so quick and Im not a good writer so I guess I just add some Pics.

The cable installation is not Painless at all.

Installed the engine and front axle at the same tine (sorry blurry pics)

You can see the yellow battery it's a LiFeYPO4 battery (Lithium Ferrum Yttrium Phosphate) I love it. Extremly powerfull.

At the moment I am at the Carb tuning stage.

a lot to read and learn because the last time I tuned the carbs is 29 years ago with this car (don't remember that much).

End of installation pics will fellow.

There is a transparent protection undercoat in the wheel wells. The rest will stay the way it is and I will inspect it on a yearly base to repair any "chipoffs". There is epoxy Primer everywhere (inside, outside, underbody)
