A break from the norm
A new project arrives on the driveway:
It a real blast back to familiarity of the set ups of the E30's I used to work on, simple electrics and OBD, suspension set up etc
This is a friends car and the head has boiled- so over the next few weeks I will be transplanting a new M52 2.8 engine into it.
I cant wait-
Will keep you posted despite it not being Z4 content...

Absolutely love the colour Stuart. It looks in immaculate condition too. I had a silver one but it didn’t look a patch on that one. I did find mine was inclined to tramline even though the Z3s weren’t fitted with runflats. Hope the ‘transplant’ goes smoothly.

I hope the handbrake is OK!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

There are some very steep streets in the centre of Lincoln.

Is that Montreal Blue?
My old E36 coupe was that colour. Loved it but touching up stone chips and getting a good finish was a proper chew.
