Thanks guys! The wheels are ESM's, they are BBS LM reps.
I spent the past two days lazily reassembling stuff. There is a LOT to reassemble, especially being a sedan. Getting the cable-style window regulators and door latches into those small doors is a tedious PITA x 4.
Things completed so far:
Sunroof installed, with new tracks and seals.
Front door internals reassembled
HVAC box and wiper linkage installed
Brake lines installed
Remote booster linkage and pedal assembly installed
Fuel tank filler/vapor canister reinstalled
Painted all of the door/window trim black
And some other little things. I'm happy with how easy and quickly it's coming back together. I don't see any issues with me getting the car moving under it's own power by the end of the month, if not sooner.

Excellent job! Just make sure that your coolant outlets right above the flywheel have some good quality hose clamps because once they're on and the engine is in, you can't get to them if you have a tiny leak....
Loving it!! and I also have the UUC ltw flywheel kit. It's such a quick revver, which is not what you'd expect from a V8. Excellent job!Recent Rebranding!!
