I'm building a tribute 507. Doing all the work myself and just doing beam bushes. Brakea and suspension. Everything else is oem and ok and I'll fix stuff as and when it's necessary.

But you're having it built by CCW. I don't know what that build costs but, in the big scheme of things, if it was me, I think I'd joining the queue at @Lee ' s shed and have the whole thing refreshed for years of trouble free motoring.
That's what I'm hoping to do, just need to know how to get in the queue?

So I’m currently having a career break for a few months so I’m getting some serious time in the shed doing all your projects. We’ve been doing so many cool things in the recent weeks.

lots of quick n dirty subframe bush changes. All done over a few hours although this one was testing yesterday.

we also had a Z3M in for trumpet seal change. We did a smoke test last week and it poured out the inlet trumpets.

real nice E89 wanted a brake upgrade so we went from the stock brakes up to the 340mm brembo setup. This was a straight swap.

we’ve also done a ton of jobs on my wagon. All new brakes and new shocks.

front also got some love with a new sun strip and a headlight polish, headlights were then PPF covered to stay shinny.

Got the supercharged Z4 back for an LSD upgrade and a new uprated clutch. Also have @Dino D Z3 in to rebuild his rear beam
IMG_3769.jpeg

dino really did a number on his subframe. In the coming weeks I’ll be picking the whole subframe structure beam apart and drilling out the spot welds, she will be getting a full chassis upgrade.

I felt my ears burning 😆
Wasn’t me honest, I just came out one morning and found it like that…🥴
It’s almost as if that car knows when you have new tools and makes an excuse to visit you 😝

Some awesome Z’s knocking round the shed 😎

Many many things going on in the shed. Lots of cars coming through for front to back mechanical overhauling, seems to be the norm at the moment. I’ve had quite a few requests for Vanos seals, everyone wants all their HP back =)) also done a few Auto box rebuilds to freshen up those gear changes.

Nice low mile 3.0 Auto for mechanical bits and aftermarket headlights

we did a quick n dirty a few weeks back, now the front end is as tight as the rear

One of the Auto box builds we’ve just done.

lovely Datsun 280Z came in for some rattles.

Dino also tried setting fire to his Z3 with a spoon across the battery terminals, he was very lucky.
IMG_4135.jpeg

again I’ve had an influx of Vanos rebuilds. Really good way of getting all that power back.

Ah so that’s where my spare towing eye ended up after the last track day (in the battery tray).
Loose metal bits in the boot of a Z3 defo not a good idea…I need to get a plastic terminal cover which I imagine they had from new for this reason.
