Trays full of silica cat litter also work to dehumidify.

Better make sure there are no cats around first

Cheers, the moisture isn’t in the air as I have dehumidifiers in the car but they aren’t collecting. The towel under the carpet seems to have done the trick

If I decide to sell JoesZ4 is first in line, if he doesn’t want them I’ll let you know.

Headlights polished today-
Before
After

Most excellent !

Headlight refurb' are one of the most satisfying and rewarding jobs

All the parts needed to finish the car acquired tonight.
Bumper for re spray, undertray and front panel.

Had some time today to dry the carpets fully from previous water ingress and also to fix the rear panel.

Major step forward in the restoration of project Z. Worked out via real OEM that the whole front panel doesn’t need to be replaced if the crash bar is bent as the crash bar and the attached legs are designed to be sacrificial. Made the job much easier as it was all simple bolt on/off parts.
Once off I swapped them for the new ones and all is now good at the front. You can see I had to use a jack to support the radiator during the process in case anyone wants to copy in the future- another bonus of not having to remove the full panel as then the rad would have had to have come out.

Will it be ready for Spa?

Should be- only needs the bumper painted and a fresh Mot really now. When do they go?

25th July I think.
Already got Stuart's 2.0 and all being well this 2.5si I have here. Need a third and I believe yours was mentioned: if it's in budget.

Failing that, I have a few others they can pick from.

Project Z will defo be done by then so hopefully will work out as I’d love to see the wee zed having a great road trip. Would be very satisfying to see it being treated to such a trip.

Feels good to get a job done

Looks amazing Paddy! As enuff_zed mentioned, we now have 2 cars sorted. The third team are still dithering over a Z4 or alternative - I have shared your project plus the options Martin has mentioned so they can take their pick if a Z4 is their decision. Fingers crossed they go for a Z4 as it would be great to get 3 in convoy, all obtained through this forum!
