Looks complete. Those EGR pipes and parts can be valuable. They tend to get mangled on removal. It was a friend of a friends'. Sitting on a stand for a little while but not too worried as it'll be rebuilt anyway. For now I'll sit on it in case I need to harvest any parts for my original motor, which should be going back in within the next 2-3 weeks (I've been saying that for a while ?).

October 2, 20195 yr Author comment_585024 It's been a slow month/six weeks due to work and moving house, but some progress this past weekend. Starting to put the front end back together. Hopefully things pick up speed over the next few weeks.

October 10, 20195 yr Author comment_585484 Gents, I'm assuming this crusty old wire/switch is for the reverse light switch. However, it mounts to the top of my transmission as opposed to the side (which I have seen). Can anybody tell me if the one linked below will fit? It looks entirely different... https://zcardepot.com/products/reverse-back-up-light-switch-240z-260z-280z Thanks!
