My £500-00 BMW Z3 project!

It sounds easy, but not a nice job.

I’ve cut a few sections out in the past, hated every second of it!

You haven’t got any spare sections then have you??

I’ve got a couple of cars to scrap, I’ll try to muster up the energy to cut a section out

That’s view you don’t often see! Good to see the sills on Zeds have a chunky cross-section made out of chunky looking steel. Out of interest do you know how thick it is?

To give you an idea of the strength of these sections, car is jacked up on front jacking pad and the door was about 3 inches out from closing!

On the 3.0 it is 0.1" (2 1/2 MM for the younger generation.) but I think it is a bit thinner on the early models. I measured mine out of curiosity when I replaced the outers.
