The Mutt hits a hiccup.

Nathan comes to a small issue that'll cost him a day. But the dash of the Z3 and the VW body are made for each other.

If he lowers the strut tops much further there'll be no room for springs. Which may not help.

Strut tops lowered and the body panels all fit.Happy days.

I can't be the only one wishing I was there to whisper something in his ear about the screws on the side brackets for the rear sub-frame. Would have been so easy to get to them and make sure they're not stuck in as many, including mine, have been. Perhaps he thinks it'll all be over once he gets the VW body on, and we know that ain't true, don't we?And, judging from the angle of the lower arms on the front, the struts are in for a fair bit more work yet, or maybe he enjoys bump-steer. Having fitted camber plates on mine, they are a fair bit thinner than the OEM bits, none of that soft rubber in there, and that's going to let the wheels sit higher, which means winding the struts down, which means the lower arms will point further down, which.........

Messing with suspension isn't as easy as it looks. Still, if it makes him happy, best chop on.

He's not the only one. I know it's not a Z, but it's kind of close.

The body is down and welded.
