    Yup it's looking like the wheels may have to go.
    They can stay for now though as I have a list of other stuff to do.
    Though the old boy said the front suspension had been done, it seems new springs were fitted on the old original struts.
    So the list is currently:
    Front shocks & top mounts
    Rear shocks & top mounts
    ARB bushes and rear drop links (fronts done)
    Vanos
    Disa
    Cruise control (if I can find the elusive wiring that I'm told is hiding there somewhere)
    Foot-well lights (found that wiring)
    Replace/repair the chipped steering wheel trims and inner door pulls.
    Relocate roof motor
    Plus all the usual small stuff that crops up.

    That'll keep me out of mischief for a while. :roll:

    Great looking car - I'm sure I saw those wheels (or similar ones) on Ebay for £250.00 a corner the other day and they were pretty tatty! Schnitzer parts seem to hold their value quite well, enjoy the project :roll: :driving:

    Looking forward to a good excuse to get out to the garage over the next few months.
    No great rush, target is to have it sorted over the winter then decide whether to keep it or move it on and start another.
    Bit like Stuart (Bigwinn), a lot of the fun is in the fettling for me.

    Nice looking z. Seen these wheels a few times over the years,and they look nice in the flesh.
    Prefer 108s or the M 224s personally,but think these Di suit this car/colour.

    Funnily enough, the more I look at the car the better they look.
    Who knows................. at the moment I will keep an open mind and if a decent set appear I may swap.
