For Sale Breaking 2000 M43 1.9 Z3 Roadster in Topaz Blue

[Mazza]

I bought it as a donor car for my project.
All parts except for roof and bonnet.

All the panels from the car are rusty but I do have a pair of rust free rear panels

Full Beige interior including heated seats and floor mats ( all in good condition)
Boot carpets also good and there is a CD changer

Haven’t checked them yet but the trailing arms replaced last year .

If interested in any part just ask for a photo of it and I will sort it.
Let me know what you want and you are welcome to make an offer for it ....

Hi Malc, do you have a resistor for then non Aircon variant? Mines only working on setting 4, so think that's the issue.

Cheers, pete

 

[Mazza]

It doesn’t have aircon so there should be one somewhere … I will check to ensure all fan speeds are working and let you know.


Edit.... just found out where it is and how to get to it.....

 

[PeteZ3]

Thank you

I fixed one by taking it out and soldering the contacts on the PCB. Pretty easy to see the defect in the production.

A few Pics of the car… (wheels reserved)

A real shame to break it ....but too much rust underneath.

 

[spurs fan in a coupe]

Doing that in your front garden, disgraceful!

 

[chacha]

I am interested in front bumper, right wheel arch liner, right wing and sill. Are these still avaialble? Thanks!

 

[Mazza]

Hi,

The front bumper and wheel arch liner both available The wing is no good as too much rust and the sill maybe ok but don’t know yet as still on the car .
I will try to get some pictures tomorrow so you can have a better look at them .

regards
Malc

Well that was a fun couple of hours today
All parts available … after I have cleaned them !!

The bonnet might need to be welded !!

Trailing arms look pretty good ...... I wont ask about the bonnet.

 

[Mazza]

Stripped of down this morning….and the trailing arm is really good .

The back plate is new , but the drive shaft is longer than std as the diff is the small version.
So a trip up to Basingstoke I think and swap the drive shafts over for the std ones ( of which I have a pair.)
I can’t do it here as I don’t have a nugger gun .

The other arm is in similar condition so will hopefully end up with a pair of quality trailing arm assemblies.

 

[Mazza]

I did have an enquiry for a wheel arch liner … so removed all four from my breaker.
sod’s law prevailed … 3 after a jet wash are perfect… the one I wanted had a massive split

So just out of curiosity , I used gorilla glue and heated staples just to see if it could be repaired…. and Surprisingly it has made a really strong repair.

and after a clean up

The heated staples so easy to use and then broke off the tangs with some pliers.

 

[Mazza]

A couple more items removed, cleaned and up for sale….
Pair of front shocks (assembled)
these are KYB shocks and I assume with std springs

£50 the pair plus postage.

 

[Mazza]

Also , not removed yet, but there is a nearly new radiator ….

£25 plus carriage at cost .

 

[Pond]

Don't forget my headlight switch!

 

[Mazza]

I haven’t

 

[Matt Barnes]

Hi Malc.... do you still have a spare driveshaft?... looking to build my rear end back up soon !

 

[Mazza]

Yes … ,
