I have Z & 110 rails.
Originally were going to mod the 110 ones, then thought we would be easier to mod the Z ones.
the Z ones would bolt to the new angle cross rails I have mocked up.
Just a pain to clean up , overhaul, paint and reassemble the rails....

well had a bit of motivation, and worked till midnight last two nights.
Getting pretty close now interior wise, next mission is dash assembly & wee bit of wiring after I fit front carpets.

Fitted NOS bonnet front chrome & new NOS boot rubber seal too

Fitted up rear bumper with NOS end caps, need to make up new outer mount tabs still

Finished making my 'fixed position' seat rails for the front, so cut/drilled & painted them tonight & mounted the Z seats up, pretty stoked, I think they look sweet. pretty happy with alignment & clearances and sit angles etc, they finish nicely next to the wee trim trays that run next to sills

Fitted up heater box & centre console (with NOS boot & knob)

Getting close now.....

Rubbers just arrived this morning, so hope to get the glass in over next week or so.
few other bits & bobs to sort, but my target of certification inspection end of January may still happen....
