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.

[machine monkey]

Thanks againe for the warm welcome everyone.
It seems a few of you are not far from me. Witch is very nice.
@ Grumpy the wheels are very good strong light and look nice. Just PITA to clean. I refurbished and polished mine it was a labour of love!!! How do they fit on the z3? I assume with a wide body they go on ok? Its not the case unfortunately with the z4!!!
