Quick Hello.. and Project warning

[jockmonkey]

Well

I did It..

I decided to replace my 1997 2.8 Z3 with a 2005 3.0 Z4..

But she's got a sore nose. Cat D.. but being Scottish.. the price was too good to not buy her. And she's done 50k miles. Toledo Blue, Black leather heated memory seats and ellipsoid 18" alloys
She arrives tomorrow..

I'm gonna post the whole saga from beginning to end. Will drive me on to finish her!

Them headlights are gonna cost mate..... goodluck in your z'd journey, will look forward to seeing the saga

 

[Jordnm88]

Ouch! Makes me sad to see a zed looking sorry for itself

Good luck on the project, will keep an eye on your progress

 

[hopz121]

Good luck de ginger those headlights whilst you are there

 

[Grumpyowl]

As said good luck.
Is your intention to put her back to OEM or are you going to mod her ?
Enjoy when finished

Well

I'd be mad not to do a facelift.. So I'm looking at a facelift from bumper and probably either aftermarket headlights or de-gingered ones..

Think the bonnet's gonna be the pig!

I will be keeping tabs with great interest, much good luck with your work Please post pictures of all jobs, explain processes etc. Forget lights and bonnet, switch to a stubby as your main priority

come on.. what's a stubby

and no rude response's!

 

[RickRob]

Whatever replies you get ignore them. Your new pride and joy deserves a whippy!

Depending what you paid, this could turn out to be a very good buy. The front end damage doesn't look that bad from the photo, but all depends what structural damage has occurred.
There is some rule of thumb that insurers use, which I can't remember, whereby if the repair cost is 50% (say) of the value, its a write off.
Best of luck, hope it all goes well, look forward to your posts.

I'm a Dumfries boy..

The car is here.. worst part is the slam panel/front panel that holds the rad looks bent. Fortunately I've found a breaker with one locally.. but I've got to strip it down myself..

Photos to follow (in the daylight!)
