Well the rest of the install went seamless. No issues with the back or front glass going in. Very happy overall! I had a friend help push on the glass as it went in and everything went smooth. The front top corners are a bit tricky due to the sharp angle, but still went well.

What brand of windshield and hatch seals did you buy?

I bought the set from the Z store. 6138adb2aba72a8b8c48cb0ddd39f3c6.jpg

Gorgeous!

Well done - now get out and drive it 😀

I'm living vicariously through this moment...

What an amazing journey.

Can't wait to hear it...need audio of a few fly-bys!

That's awesome!! So just how big was the smile??   :victorious:

The wife was pretty happy. She hasn’t really seen the car since I started working on it years ago. She loves the colour.

Maybe she's just happy seeing light at the end of the tunnel when you come back inside the house and aren't living out in the garage?  Haha!

Superb restoration and work achieved ! Envious of the idle sound right now 😂 Well done !
