Z3 M Roadster Rebody build

[Foglem]

Hello all,
I purchased a 99 Z3 M Roadster this year. So far I've completed the Randy Forbes rear reinforcement kit. All of the bushings under the car (still have yet to do the engine and transmission mounts) have been replaced. I have a new soft top coming and some nice diamond stitch leather seat replacement covers for the old worn leather.

In the coming months my plan is to perform a rebody on the car with a GT kit from Tribute Automotive. The look I'm going for will be a 'restomod' style. I'm new to body work so this will be a learning process. Once I'm done I still plan to continue autocrossing the car.

Nice to be here.

Sounds like a lot of work ahead of you.
Welcome, and lots of photos on your progress would be nice.

Good luck with the Tribute kit. I have two.
Please consider starting a thread on the Z Rebody forum here.
Also- lots of Tribute info on https://www.madabout-kitcars.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=18

Thank you, I've been to that forum before. I wish I could see the pictures there. Some other members in the tribute Facebook group were kind enough to share a build photo album with me.

I do plan on documenting my build though! Any advice or hints are gladly accepted.

First things first is get my coilovers on once they arrive. The temperature is dropping fast so hopefully I can keep the motivation up!

Thank you for the welcome everyone.
