240Z: More fasteners, More pics from the Bodyshop, Steering column disassembly

Time for another update:
1) While still waiting for the parts to return from the zinc-plating shop i ordered and got some fasteners and small OEM Bits from nissan for the Pedal box. nothing spectacular:

2) Also my Bodyshop guy constantly keeps sending my updates andi hope i can visit him once again next week. Hower his work looks very promising and his fabrikation skills are stunning:

During work (Area below the battery tray):

The finished, hand-crafted product. Absolutely great in my opinion!

Today he started with the floorpans and rocker-panels:

Current state of the car. Not much original Metal left. but the work is just brilliant!

3) While waiting for parts and work i decided to disassemble the Steering column. Before:

Almost finished. If someone can tell me how the bearings are mounted into the housing and how i can remove them, this would be very helpful. Will get the housings sandblasted and powdercoated and don’t think the bearings like to have sand and heat inside. also the service manual, haynes and other books only mention “replace bearings if worn” but not how to… Any advice i’m very thankful for 🙂

Hope the zinc-plating parts will return early next week and another delivery goes to the powdercoating company 😉
