Good morning.
I've been after a bit of a project for a number of months and finally picked up a 1.9 Z3. I'm based in Scotland, out in the countryside, 6 miles from nearest shop.
Its a 1997, silver with 79000 miles on the clock (with a private plate which I'm looking to get shot of!). Picked her up for £850, MOT expires July 2016.
Overall condition is ok. My pics are too big so I'll get them reduced and uploaded shortly.
I've already striped, cleaned and refit brakes with new calipers in the front. Exhaust back box also replaced as it wouldn't have survived the winter.
Wee bit of surface rust on either side of sills and rear arches. Nothing more than that though. Alloys need attention so they'll be done probably 1st week in January.
Jobs to be done:
Slow electric windows
Drivers seat moves when driving, and when the seats are out give the interior a deep scrub
Remove stereo and fit with new dab/android compatible
Replace passenger wing mirror (held on by tape!)
For all these jobs I've found the threads and they look idea.
Steering wheel removal and replacement, anyone got a decent link? I've looking to replace the over sized original one with a smaller, airbag-less model. Looking to fit it and ensure airbag warning light doesn't come on. Anyone?
Spark plug replacement and oil/filter on list to do. Fuel filter has also been done.
Think that's it for now. Oh and hood. Need to purchase a decent replacement and fit a cracker free one. Mines doesn't leak, but small cracker has led to it be unusable.
Looking forward to z ownership and hello
