Hello all,

My name is Thomas and I have purchased a 2000 Z3 2.3 from a private owner over 2 months ago. From the moment I had bought the car I knew I had my work cut out. This poor silver beast had been turned inside out by whoever had it last. The "Idiots" had busted the trunk lock, broke the door handles, Hood release handle broken, Engine was on the verge of dying, not to mention they had cut the muffler off for a straight pipe exhaust for the sound as well as all major suspension was shot. It has taken this time to get her back up on her wheels and she shine again. So wish me luck I hope you all can give me some sound advice on how this project can be the lady that she is.
Thank you all.

Update: So the Silver Ghost is now out of the shop and now I have to drive it for almost 2000 miles, 3200 kilometers for everyone else, so the hvac and catalytic monitor can reset so it will pass Smog. Also, I have notice that when I drive off the driveshaft seems to be rubbing somewhere in the undercarriage. and ideas what it may be? Anyway. Just wanted to give an update. cheers all!!
