Excellent news mate couldn't better with a long weekend on the wayMOT passed....no advisories....car taxed this evening.....now road-worthy and legal to drive....yippee.....
Got new hood fitted yesterday at Croydon....journey was a nightmare, both there and back, but the hood, with the altered back window, looks fantastic. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dean at Soft-Tops, Croydon on 0208-665-7577. Nice bloke who knows his stuff....£600 all in, bargain....and it only took him 3 hours to fit....then I went and "parked" on the M25 on the way home.
Long day....but over the 240 miles the car never missed a beat....got loads of admiring looks too, even with loads of chrome bits not fitted.

Car goes back to the paint shop in 2 weeks time so they can deal with a few pin-holes and give it a final mop and polish. In the mean time I have to get the external door handles working, drop out the headlights and fit the chrome surrounds, fit the side louvres and the front inner arch mudguards. Then the electric boot opener and boot handle and the front chrome scuttle panel, under the wipers.
Then spray the top of the A pillars black and fit the chrome strips on them and on the doors.
And that is virtually the outside done....door cards and rear bulkhead inside next.

Got a pic of your chrome scuttle panel? Interesting.
I will take one for you when I have fitted it.
Right both external door handles now working perfectly. Fitted the stainless steel mesh behind the one wing grill tonight ready for fitting before the inner front mud guard, finish it tomorrow, then the other one. Sorry, front scuttle cover will have to wait.
PICTURES PLEASE!! JIM
Ok here it is with door handles fitted (and working) side grills fitted, new hood fitted and a wash and brush up;

Love that! One of the few kit cars that I've seen where you'd struggle to tell it's a Z3 underneath, great effort.
Going back to the paint shop on Monday for a final mop and polish, Then got the boot opener to fit (electric from inside) then just the last bits of chrome....then new door cards, with fake window winders that operate the electric windows, and new interior handles.
A labour of love, keep it up.
That looks awesome.
AWESOME!! JIM
