That's great news Stuart. Project Jigsaw has the potential to end up being a very desirable Z4. :thumbsup:

A pre bank holiday update

Electrical gremlins all put to bed
Central screen sorted- swapped the mk4 nav unit over

The last hurdle is the ongoing ABS unit- @street is sending me a matching unit to try after all the other shenanigans to date of bleeding, new master cyl and vacuum unit.

Then it’s off to the mot station on Friday for a test and an air con recharge.

Are you using a pressure bleeder or doing it old school and pumping the pedal with someone on the callipers?

I know I’m biased but…

Doesn’t the inside look a pretty place to be now???

The decision to let it go will be difficult I think

The current mrs Winn would not endorse that I’m afraid

Obviously she hates it

The interior looks stunning Stuart. What is it that Olivia doesn’t like about it? Is the red a bit garish. If you do sell it I think the interior will be one of the main attractions.
