Have you spray painted your seats FB ?

 

[FB]

Ha. They are a tad dusty with all the filling and sanding. Should have taken them out but what would I sit on to drive it back into the garage? Planning on getting new, racing type seats at some point.

I do like laced wheels, a bit of a bugger to clean though...

FB don't look at this site - it's an easy addiction, I have now worked up a 5% discount on scratching my valeting itch

How to make a BMW Z3 desirable

 

[FB]

Oh my word, what possess people to do this.

 

[Bill Boddy]

One-upmanship?

 

[The Pits]

Maybe he thought he could improve the handling of the BMW by giving it the turning circle of a small country?

 

[Fenderman]

I wonder what he put under the bonnet?

 

[The Pits]

Probably the 1.6l standard, and a weeks worth of shopping.

So is your motor finished yet FB ?

 

[FB]

Bit of a delay as the wheels I've ordered (gave up on the wire ones) are on a 10 week lead time. Once I have them it's MOT time and then drive it for a few months to see what falls off...

drive it for a few months to see what falls off...

The advice I gave in my last Best Man's speech.

 

[Mephistopheles]

How did you do the headlight alignment and tracking FB or are you getting that done in a garage, and when you said "See what falls off." did you mean you or the car..

Edit

What ,made you give up on the wire wheels.?

 

[FB]

Headlight alignment and tracking will have to be done professionally. The problem with the wire wheels is they are off a Jag and everyone I spoke to who makes adapters either advise not to fit them or never came back to me. And yes, see what falls off the car

Is your GTO finished yet FB?

This one just sold for a record $38 million.

Sitting in the garage at the moment waiting for the new wheels to arrive, Should be here in the next couple of weeks and then, tyres, suspension alignment and an MOT. The money people pay for the real thing is just nuts but I suppose if there are only about 20 of them in the World they are not going to come cheap.

This video doesn't do the exhaust system justice.

I do like it when they spit out unburnt petrol.

The nice people who made the kit I'm making have just released a new body swap for the Z3. Looks rather smart.
