i think @Lee gets them from GSF

https://www.gsfcarparts.com/parts/steering-suspension/shocks-components/shock-absorber

but god knows how he gets them to be that cheap

 

[GazHyde]

Yeah, all the parts tend to come from GSF on Lee's trade account. He puts more parts through the Basingstoke depot than some local garages...

Lol, was just thinking that, not much cheaper than Bilsteins lol

 

[hard top]

Nice one Gaz, you just destroyed 1100 euro worth of kit......

 

[Lee]

Lol, was just thinking that, not much cheaper than Bilsteins lol

Yeah at those prices I would go with bilstein.

 

[hard top]

And probably fmucked up the angle grinder as well.....

Another little update. The car is now 99% complete, we are waiting for the freshly painted bonnet to arrive.

Last weekends antics included: Handbrake adjustment, Roof clean & Tidy, Wheel clean and fit, Brake clean and paint, overall clean. Also had time to fit 4 new tyres.

She's really come together.

The roof came up really well!

Front disc all new and freshly painted callipers

Rear brakes

Interior has cleaned up really well

The body work on the front will be all fresh paint, the rear bumper has a couple of marks. But you cant complain for her age. Will be up for sale soon.

Hi @Lee

Thanks.

The mileage is 140,000 at the moment. History I believe is part, will need to confirm this as my dad is holding all the paperwork.

 

[Nodzed]

That's a totally different looking Zed since I last saw her. Brilliant job lads she looks a treat and will be well sorted for the next custodian.

 

[DaveP]

Nice Zed. My fave colour too

Well as Beemer colours go. My fave is actually Ford Purple Velvet (sorry about using a four letter word beginning with F)

[Bazza]

[5harp3y]

What's your method of adjusting the handbrake.

Only job I have left on mine
