Please don't sell this to a breaker if they ask! At that price and with those parts it's ideal.

It's an easy and very worthwhile restoration for someone with that sort of mileage. And it will become a valuable car, maybe £5k worth as long as it's not been previously written off for the bonnet (you don't mention if it has). If I wasn't going the other way and thinning out my fleet I'd have probably been sending a recovery truck down to Brighton this week!
Bit confused Rob I thought you were one of our resident breakers?
 
Hopefully this has gone to someone who will cherish it :pompus:

No who told you that?

I restore and preserve Z3s. My profile carries the term 3rd party trader against my personal wishes. 3 have not been viable after picking up and I broke them for my personal spares supply. Some parts were surplus and it’s these I have sold.

I am categorically not a breaker by nature. If I break any more in the future they will be write-offs or well beyond saving.

I’ve invested large sums of money and time in saving Z3s others would happily have broken.

I get referred to as a breaker but I can’t snuff that out every time. I’m a spares broker maybe.

Oh. My bad. I've directed quite a few to you for parts, apologies to those individuals. I just thought as you sell parts you were breaking zeds and using some parts yourself and selling the bits you didn't need on to others. As said I was confused.

I’ve usually got plenty of spares here so it’s a not unreasonable thing to send people my way. It’s just I don’t consider myself a breaker. I’ve also taken 3 sets of stripped out panels etc from a local kit car builder. Again some for my own projects and some to sell on. Not to mention various one off parts I’ve bought and no longer need. Hence why spares broker may be fair enough.

I've had some bits off Robert and a pair of wings spring to mind, they where mint with no rust whatsoever, he charged me £25 for the pair, they are on my current z, what he does is not for profit

Any reason you think what Sean and Niall said is funny @Lee ? Do you think you’re the only one who can fix these things up? Or do you just think I’m a sad man for bothering to save cars? Perhaps you think depression is funny or that I’ve used the Z3s to help deal with mine. Probably time to give your one man bash Rob thing a rest mate. There’s no reason for it. There’s a lot of people look up to you on this forum and you’re doing yourself no favours.

Some of these comments are to provoke you. It's almost becoming a game waiting for you to bite, think it's time you wise up to it. If i can see it surely you can, you cant be that naive.

Think it's time you had a word with yourself, this is the second time you've tried to Mental health shame me in a public forum. If you are struggling with mental health issues maybe it's worth taking a step back, I really couldn't care less. Everyone on here has their own issues at home and they don't go ramming them down peoples necks....

Here's a thing I don't really care what people think, or say about me, I do what I do with zeds because I enjoy it and because it gives people a new set of skills tinkering with cars. So i don't need you giving me advice on what is and is not doing me favors.

Lee out.
 
Lee I’m very happy for others to judge on whether your outlook is a fair and decent one. And by the same token whether mine is.

But you’re making it very clear you’re singling me out for vilification and have gone on record with that now. So perhaps I’m not as naive as you think I am.

But if nothing else I’m pretty clear your behaviour is against forum rules and if it was anyone else they’d be pulled up for it. Again other forum members can judge whether there’s one rule for Zedshed members and one for others.

But let’s be clear on one thing. Just because I suffer mental health issues doesn’t make me a push over. You’re trying to make a fool out of me and it will backfire.

And one more thing Lee. If you don't need advice on what is and is not doing you any favours then I certainly don't need advice on how to handle mental health issues. This is isn't about you affecting my mental well-being. Dream on if you think you've got the ability to do that. But also be aware there are some people in this world who are vulnerable and it would affect.

This is about the disrespect you frequently show me as a fellow Z3 enthusiast by trying to discredit my views and advice. Referring to me as a clown for instance in the context of advice I gave that elaborated a professional's view is ultimately not in the best interests of other forum members.

Perception is a personal sliderule, but I hold everyone accountable here to the same extent. Whether people see that or not is something beyond my influence.
 
Come on guys lets draw a line under this and end this now
