Hello

I have been slightly neglectful of my Z3 over the past year with other things in life and I've come to a damn rust issues (see photos)

Was wondering if anyone knew a body shop place in the Glasgow area (or further if needs be) who can treat my car

Sills will be checked tomorrow but bodywork is now a bit rough

At this stage, you're into well in excess of the car's value to restore it. The bonnet is finished - you're best off finding a good used one in Topaz blue. The arch edges are best periodically cleaned up, masked close to the edge and some carefully applied blue Hammerite. You need to have a good prod of the sills, floor and rear suspension trailing arms before committing to it. I've seen recently a 1999 Scottish Z3 that colour - the absolute state of it underneath. :oops:
