Hello!
I thought that I would start a thread about my build. I spent a few months in finding a good donor car. I ended up buying a 2,2liter Z3 from 2001. The car had 180 thousand kilometres on the clock and was in overall good condition - besides the fact that engine was hydrolocked.
I took the car home and first thing I did was I pulled the engine. Hydrolocking was caused by leaking headgasket. I consider myself extremely lucky that the engine didn’t have a bent rod.
I have also removed all rust from the car and painted the bottom of the car.
Beams,diff,brake calipers etc have been sandblasted and painted.
Engine bay has been sprayed with ferrari blue.
During next few months I will do engine rebuild and also do some changes in the interior. And also strip the car and sell parts from it.
Kit has been ordered also - exciting times ahead
