I already have a plan
Those seats look pretty damm amazing have you had them redone or just coloured
Thats how I bought them, they are genuine
Great day today, got worked up early so cracked on with the Z, cooling system now in place and painted the underside of the bonnet, its slow going building up as every nut and bolt is either getting replaced or refurbished as well as all the other parts are getting a good clean,
Also stripped and painted the power steering cooler, it was heavily corroded to the point that I thought it would need replacing but once the heavy stuff was off it seems to be OK

Also did the brake light with the LED strip, courtesy of this very forum, 18 lights instead of 7 and very bright all for £2
Proper nice job coming on nice. You should really take this up for a living reckon you’d do well at it.
I have a supply left (I think) of the 6 bolts that hold the 2 lower bonnet catches in place if you want some. They are silly money new from BMW. These are virtually identical and are stainless steel finish rather than flat zinc. They look great with new/cleaned up catches.
The 4 bolts that hold the panel to the inner wing are worth changing too. But it looks like you have that covered. They are a common size of hex head.
They look great Robert, I have restored the original ones and gold galvenised them but will gladly take you up on your offer thanks
Bled the cooling system today and was at a stalemate as I couldn't get the heater to blow hot, now I had heard about raising the front and thought it to be a load of tosh, last ditch attempt, I raised the front, gave it some revs and the bleed hole erupted and bubbled like mount vesuvius check the heater and it was hot hot hot thats the engine bay complete

Beginning to resemble a car again mate. Headlights look spot on.

Finally glued the edge of the new window down tonight, I'm so pleased I masked it out as it was a right bloody game,
Also got the engine bay complete, just needs a detail
Then sorted the tool kit, sprayed the jack as it was a bit rusty

Great detail Sean
Looks like your fitting a spoiler to the bootlid again
Did you not fancy smoothing the boot lock hole again on this one?
You have a keen eye pal, I left that there and wondered if anyone would spot it, I may do the boot lock delete at a later dateLooks like your fitting a spoiler to the bootlid again

Sean,
This car will be epic! When are you going to reveal the final seat colour?

cant help but think the slam panel needs to be grey like the rest of the engine bay?
Didn't like to say myself. But personally I'd have done it all one colour, grey or yellow myself.
Fortunately Sean gets to do as he pleases and not what we think
