Newby hear not new to zeds

[machine monkey]

Hi Zed fans I am new hear but i have had my z4 for 4 years. I have been a member on another z4 forum for a while (I wont talk to much about that!!) But i was directed hear by a fellow member on there. I have been known to make a few bits and bobs for people there and he suggested i may be able to help a few out hear.

Some of you may recognize the car and user name. Yes its me!!

So about me i love z4s and I am becoming a bigger fan of the z3. After seeing so many great examples at the weekend at Shepshed. I am a machinist by trade and i have been embarking on my car project for the last 3 1/2 years. The goal being to make as much as i could and spend as little as i could. I live in Oxfordshire and have a mini Monkey due in October. The wife has promised the car can stay. But i imagine my project plans maybe on hold for a while.

I will post about what i have done to my car if there is interest?

But for now Hi all looking forward to getting to know you.

Hear are some more pictures of the car at various stages
The day after i got it.

O dear!!!! The paint work was awful. So i built a spray booth and then tried to learn how to spray cars.

It turned out ok but it needs attention still.

Hi MM, didn't get to say hello to many Z4forum members even though I'm on there. Will be interested in your project thread when you get around to it, it's taken me best part of a year to start one for my car. " My Z4 - my way". Some lovely Z4's on show yesterday too.

Tony.

Thanks David
