And so it begins again

[Sean d]

Had a hour today so took a good look at the new project,
The good stuff
All OEM, no mods other then the chrome gills
Full BMW service history,
4 virtually new tyres
Brand new battery,
Tonneau,
New discs and pads all round,
full tool kit including the original wheel bag
Interior is in excellent condition,
Engine sounds as smooth as silk
Drives excellent and the 2.8 put a bloody big smile on my face today,
Electric hood works as it should and is in great condtion.
2 owners from new the last a lady for 12 years
New X8R drivers door mirrior
Bad stuff,
needs, 2 sills,(I have one that I removed from a z3 2 years ago) 2 rear wings, 2 front wings
Welding needed to both inner sills
Split rear screen,

This project really excites me and I can't wait to get stuck in, however it won't be at 100mph like the last one as I don't have as much time on my hands these days,
Firstly will be the welding followed by the bodywork, I have plans for the interior but not as elaborate as my current Z3,
I will be dropping it on Eibachs with Bilstein shocks, also keeping it on 17 inch rims

Currently Montreal
I am pleased with it as I bought it on a whim as it was local and very cheap.

[Mint]

Wow, you've soon got stuck in Sean. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one

 

[Redsheep]

Sean,

Out of interest can you show pics of where welding required.

 

[Antm72]

A good start mate looking forward to the progress a good buy, good luck

 

[andyglym]

That's some motor for the money mate! 'Stole' it is an understatement of galactic proportions. Will be following with interest. Great torque eh

 

[spurs fan in a coupe]

Really looking forward to this mate.

 

[Bozzy]

Looks in great condition mate, so you've hit the ground running on this one .

 

[mwpe]

A great buy Sean, pity about the welding, I hope it is not too much. I have got a couple of outer sills which are probably repairable if you want them.

 

[Bazza]

Sean if it turns out like the last one you did it will be a great car mate

 

[Brian H]

Looking forward to seeing this car develop.

 

[Stevo7682]

Same here Sean will be following your progress on your new zed looking forward to seeing it at some point

 

[PHILIP BAXTER]

Looks like a nice Zed mate. I'm sure by the time you're finished with it, it will be a stunning Zed. Good luck with the transformation Sean.

 

[Jack Ratt]

We're all going to be watching this thread I bet

 

[Mazza]

You can get to that stage in an hour.....it takes me about an hour just to jack the car up

Sean,

Its nasty and might frighten one or two members

Thats a very generous offer Mike, is yours a prefacelift as I believe they are different to the facelift, not sure though, could someone confirm this, thanks
