Nice work mate.
The big bits are going back and it's looking pretty good.
Looking forward to the electrical part of the job? I suspect that may be more of a challenge.

Well so far so good… I guess the ones to be wary of are abs and airbag gremlins

Won’t be long and we will see!

I know a man who can sort those

Isn’t it annoying when work gets in the way of fun

Still the sun was shining in Madrid so every cloud etc…

This morning I met Barry for a car load of swag that will get bolted on this weekend if it holds off raining… new carpet and boot furniture.

I’m hoping to get the majority of the internals refitted and roof on to make it water tight this weekend, if I then have time it’s heat shields and exhaust on too

I did get a few minutes to repair and recolour the seats though- they were filthy!

Cheers

Stuart

Ah forgot to say also there is a set of 19” csl reps appearing this weekend so the 294s can disappear

[enuff_zed]

Are you doing stuff like brake pipes etc that you can't easily get at once the exhaust is back on?

[bigwinn]

They are in good order thankfully having been replaced a while back

They will be getting an obligatory wire brush and greasing still

Beautiful work on the seats.

The leather on those are so much better than the standard leather. Also the Imola red looks better than the dream red.

Great job Stuart

[Mr Tidy]

It's good to see it starting to look like a Z4 again, and I love the Bi-Colour seats.

Lots of fun today

I think essentially the interior is done (back together anyway) and the roof is on. I’ve not put the seats back in yet as I still need room to do a few more bits inside.

All the boot areas sorted too- the only dilemma I have is the carpet Barry gave me was a standard car and the project car has Bluetooth which needs the humped bit. Will have a think as to how I square that circle

Plan:

1. Sort bolts
2. Exhaust on
3. Roof on and watertight- boot area sort
4. Front end on with wings and liners
5. Rear on and sides
6. Interior including airbags
7. Seats sort
8. Engine recommission
9. Brakes and suspension recommission inc handbrake and bleed. Rear shocks. ABS full bleed and clutch
10. Electrical sort
11. Test
12. Service
13. All bolts tighten
14. Wheels swap
15. Mot
16. Clean/clay bar

Oh- and all the boxes are officially empty!

[enuff_zed]

You appear to have fitted the dash lower panels in the boot though

Great thread this - be good practise for the Krypton Factor! (Only those over a certain age will remember that). Could you tell me where you got your CSLs from? I am thinking of them for a project Spa (budget? What budget?)

[pvr]

£840 I got the wheels for in Eastbourne.

£750 for PS5 tyres

Thanks! BM Autosports?
