My two swiss S30Z Fairlady Restoration build thread

I'm having a good pace currently and making some small progress almost daily. Currently, I'm test-fitting all the items so that they can go back to the bodyshop for final adjustment and panel-gap correction etc.
The first thing I wanted t install were the rear quarter windows, but I quickly realized that some areas needed rework.


Some time in the history of this Z, someone bent one of the mounting brackets heavily, so I had to get it straight again...


And after spending 2 hours or so fixing various small details, the rear quarter windows finally went in, and fit perfectly:


While working on it, i noticed the doors didn't fit properly. The reason? The door locking mechanisms were not installed. So the door was either not closed properly, or pushed too much inside.


Before:

And after. To get the mechanism in, i had to remove the upper door window frames out again. But that was a quick task.
 

And on the opposite side, the locking counterpart went in. So now the doors can lock secure, are in the correct position for panel gap and body-line adjustments and are also safe for transportation and moving around, without the risk of the doors open by themselves.


Next i got a bunch of O-rings and circlips for the rear differential, stub axles, handbrakes, etc. which were recommended to me by @Mymechanics (Great YouTube channel, if you haven't checked it out yet!)

The next steps are already in preparation, I got some upgrades for my Workshop and have some more parts on the way, so stay tuned for another update soon
