More photos, rear axle installed and almost everything else completed. Just got new fuel hose from tank, old one wasnt MB and it wanted to kink. MB one is much better cohline dbl wall hose.

Just prior I used shims to set the side bearing caps to proper gear backlash.

Can you spot the extra fuel pump for the Webasto?

Breathtaking beauty. I didn't know the webasto had its own pump. Is it original to your car?

Car has factory install of Webasto heater. Though not original to car I am adding heated seats front and rear.

I found a NOS Anthracite hat shelf on ebey.de. These are extremely hard to find.  I think he has some more if anyone is interested.

Been chipping away on radiator support and cowl area doing body work. Will post photos soon.

Indeed to find a NOS parcel shelf in the colour you want for sane asking is like winning the Powerball 8)
