You can buy a kit to fit a Z3 to look like one of them. :wink:

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Market depressed..only 47m usd…times are hard.. :tumbleweed:
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

    If you bought it would you be brave enough to use it? Knowing my luck I'd be sitting at the lights and some spotty yoof in their Fiesta would plough into my rear :cry:

    No-one I know! :)
    The body panels are very valuable second hand, though, as I am finding out. :thumbsup:
