Hi All,

I am another fool easily parted from his money and going to build a fake Italian 250 on my Z3 3.0.

I wish to have the engine rebuilt, upgraded internally and turbo/supercharged. I am looking for recommendations on someone to do this work please.

What are you building, have you ordered the kit yet?

You need very deep pockets if you are not doing any of it yourself.

Mine is based on an M Roadster. I've only outsourced the fibreglass element of the project and it will be costing me more than the original car cost in 1998.

I'm using this company (https://www.classiccoachworks.org/) to do the work for me.

Hi and from me too in Stafford, good luck with your build.

 

[jaguartvr]

Why not do a manifold swap like MisterP007? Big bang for small bucks.

I would suggest building the car, running it unpainted to let it all settle and then paint. Any performance/interior parts can be fitted while it is all "settling".

Be aware that there are some real crooks out there so do ask other forum members if you are unsure.
I am trying to help someone at the moment who has been totally ripped off, again neither buyer or seller is on the forum.

You need to perform a lot of due diligence with kit cars. Impulse buys lead to buying twice, or spending a lot of time correcting your mistake.

Even "designed" modifications need (a lot of) fettling to make them work. Ask me how I know?
