Mate, this is where your hard work (or lack of) will pay dividends, getting those small details corrected and having that attention for perfection makes for a future of frustration and patience by the bucket load. But from where we are watching, you've made giant leaps and its starting to resemble the mgb gt you always craved. You might want to address the cable tie that's holding up the front end

That's the new wiring loom. A job for another day (or more accurately; year).
I have undertaken many challenges in my adult life; building houses, starting with a blank piece of paper; making furniture with just the internet for guidance; designing heating systems from scratch with little knowledge, etc, etc.
But this bloody thing is THE most complicated and frustrating of all those put together.
It's just like being given a 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle which is all sky, no picture on the box and none of the pieces have been cut properly. Then being handed a coping saw and told to get it done. Oh and being charged £25,000 for the privilege of doing it.
Had another shite couple of days trying to get the bloody body to fit with acceptable panel gaps. I am sick of grinding GRP and nothing staying put :x
Many more days of the same to come. Yippee. I have a full face super-duper 99.9% HEPA mask and I can still 'taste' GRP all the time!
Unless you get some kind of masochistic pleasure from beating your head against a brick wall, DON'T EVER try to put a GRP body (especially one that is crap quality) on a shitty old Z3. It is fecking terrible!
