Just a girl from Long Island…

[Z3Baddie]

”Just a girl and her Z tryna make it like the rest of us.“
I’m twenty seven, born and raised on Long Island in New York. My dad ran his own auto shop for majority of my childhood, a good handful of decades for him. Still slightly deaf from all those years around air compressors, power tools and engines! I’m grateful for the career path he chose because it primed me for what would become my own passion.
I currently work for (insert big chain auto parts company here) in automotive retail, service and sales. I bought my 1998 2.8L Z3 Roadster from a police officer back in 2019 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I only have one gentleman I met through work in my neighborhood with a Z so I’m eager and happy to involve myself in a community with many more like-minded & like-vehicle individuals for advice and input! Thanks for reading

Thank you so much everyone! Such a warm welcome! Much appreciated!
Due to unforeseen circumstances it sat for almost two years. I’m bringing it back though! This is a great way to document the process. It‘ll be a daily driver but I have intentions of making it a drift car down the line. I’d give it a wash first, but it’s on dirt right now. So until I got him moved, the engine, electronics and interior have been my main priorities. I appreciate any advice/tips you have for bringing back a sitting Z. All critism will be taken constructively! Take a look see at my project and feel free to check in! Hopefully it looks better every time you do!

Yes, thank you! I’ll create a thread solely focused on the car and it’s progress. That way anyone interested can watch, and anyone with advice can help me along as I go. Thank you much! Very excited!

Welcome, it looks a great car to start out with and I’m sure you can improve it. There’s no rush just when time and money allow.

PROJECT HALF PINT 🖤💚 Long Island Z3 2.8L

Our journey began in 2019, accepting the keys in a Shop Rite parking lot BUSSIN’ that throttle open to my hearts content. Five years later, (two years being a sitting duck) here we are. Majority of my time with my 2.8 the car was covered/uncovered on pavement driveway. Once it was sitting, it...
