Project Liz

[Ocdste]

Hi everyone, i have purchased my first ever Z3 it’s a 1.9 narrow body. I paid next to nothing for her due to a faulty water pump and a back box needed, it’s been stood for 2 years and is really looking sorry for herself.
I’m about to start a motor vehicle body repair course so it’s a perfect project.
Its been named project Liz due to my partner falling in love with it from the moment the trailer pulled up, it was supposed to be a fix and sell but with deeper examination she really needs a lot of love and a lot of cash to get her right.
I dropped the oil to service and have discovered a few liters of water the head gasket has blown too though on stripping the head bolts over number two cylinder where loose so hopefully not as bad as first thought.

Hi and welcome from me in Scotland .

You should start a progress thread to keep your build stuff in the one place.
Makes easier for people to follow how you are getting on.
