Yellow rear shocks? I thought you were going for Monroe Reflex which are black?

I agree, and there was that lovely 2.2 up the road he could've got to actually drive . . . . . .

My mucker paid £1600 for it pal, it will be on Ebay for £2500 in a few weeks, I would have bought it but the 2.8 would have been left on stands forever.

Thank you for the kind words Carl, my progress threads do seem to get a bit drawn out, the best is yet to come as I will soon be on interior and exterior

Whilst I am awaiting the new calipers I decided to start inside the boot, its now fully stripped and almost ready for painting, again this will be done in a neutral colour,
Its all about the detail,
Before and after

Cmon Sean mate even I’m holding my breath to see what colour it’ll be

It will be weeks if not months before I put the pics on, the painting will start in a couple of weeks though, I am going to wait until the car is complete, including wheels and interior
Here's a clue, the caliper will be as close to M blue as I can get

I saw a 67 plate Audi Est. tonight in what you could closely call British Racing Green. Would look bloody awesome on a Z3 Sean

Changed the gearbox and diff oil today, that was a f***ing shock, £60 I nearly fell over, almost £40 for Castrol syntrax for the diff and and £20 for Gulf ATF

 

[Sean d]

Got the spot welds sorted in the boot today and also got some panels in primer, both front and rear wings

This would be an awesome colour on the Z3
