That’s the one. Stuck with it now. Well until it’s running

Shame I took bits off the other one as it’s twice the car but on a 1.9

 

[Sp02zbr]

The 1.9 was just a bog standard car. Sold leather seats door cards. Gear knob and door seals for £150. All I could get

Weren’t heated tho.

Major surgery then Sean. Are you going to get replacements from a donor car?

Yep its in progress mate, I only need the outer skin but its heavy grade stuff

Worth it for a nice 2.8 tho

New suspension £600 plus that’s stupid money

New suspension £600 plus that’s stupid money

If you shop around and use German Ebay you can do it for a lot less them £600, even at £600 its cheap as its life saving, your braking distance on knackered shocks is massively effected.

Just checked and I paid less then £200 for Monroe Reflex shocks and £140 for Eiback Springs

It’s along way off from being on the road. So I’ll just trust them to do the job the best they can

Where did you find the Eibach springs for £140 @Sean d ? Best I can find is about £160 with postage.

Keep an eye out for Amazon Warehouse deals, I bought Monroe 71470 and 71471 OESpectrum Sensa-Trac Struts last year for $22 each for my 1998 1.9l z3 and it's like driving a total different car. Paid $33 each for the rear shocks. Well worth the money.

i would use AutoDoc for your suspension you can get all 4 corners for under £100 if you want to keep it cheap

 

[Sp02zbr]

Cheers guys. I’m not replacing them. This car could cost twice as much as I paid for it. And I’m not doing that.

If it’s worth a lot less with old suspension when it’s road legal. Then that’s my loss

My bad Robert, just checked and they where indeed £160, I got my last set for £100 only 18 months ago
