Building Up HLS30-59920

Both dog legs on the Z needed the same rust/damage repair. Fortunately the Klassic Fab pieces were a very close fit to the existing metal, both for the inner structure and outer body panel.

The panel itself had slightly longer flanges which worked out great for trimming them down to fit the car. I also had to replace a section of the inner wheel well in the process. Overall not a bad job to do. I need to finish up the "spot welds" around the perimeter to make them appear more authentic.

Wrapped up the floor pan install with new seat mounting brackets and supports. I will say these weren't 100% a drop in where the factory mounts were previously, but very close. I would attribute that to possibly human error when they were originally placed, as the LH and RH sides were not aligned with each other. That and no aftermarket part will ever be a perfect match. Regardless, happy with the final outcome. All it lacks now is seam sealer and sound deadening before final paint.

Switching gears slightly, the wheels for the Z were delivered from Love20bee. The Epsilon wheels have always been my favorite for the Z and Celo did a fantastic job with these. Was also able to grab a set of repop center caps for it to complete the set. 16x8.5 should tuck under the car nicely.

Had the Epsilons on my "JPS" World Championship Edition Lotus Esprit, bugger to keep clean!

Love it. I agree, the mess is a pain to clean especially when its gold or silver in color!

Looking good.

 I wish these engines had a cam chain, rather than a belt. Broken cam belts are so messy.
