Air freshener has lost its smell. Might buy a new one. Might just open the window.
Also, I’m down to about 3 serviettes in the door pocket, so will pinch a handful extra when I next grab a Costa.

Living life on the edge there Rich!

You did notice I said next time I get a “Costa”! - I live it large mate.
No tossy McDonalds serviettes in my motor!

Yeah. I’ve also been running about with the parcel shelf roller blind thingy open for a good few months now.
Was toying with the idea of closing it for a bit, but, y’know, don’t wanna leave myself with nothing to do later on in the year.

Should really get shot of the Coo Pee as Roadster drivers are much more enthusiastic about their cars. It'll give you that zest for life back that you've been missing.
 
Fit Genuine CSL’s (due at weekend)
Roll rear arches if needed
4 Wheel Alignment (Booked in at Demon Tweeks)
Clear Drain Holes
Under seal underside

Not sure about that - my Coupe gives me plenty of zest for life, but I don't get wet if it rains! :poke:

hopefully you’ll put pics up after? Would be interested to see how the rolling turns out as I nearly did it on mine. Ended up playing around with the alignment and fitting skinnier tyres so didn’t.
 
I will be:
Firstly getting it running again as it suddenly no longer starts. I found out as I was due to set off for work :(
Once that is done then I will be painting the callipers, hubs, wheel bolts. (Colour of callipers yet to be decided)
Storing hardtop in the shed in the hope of some dry sunny days
and maybe fit some door sound proofing and speakers.
 
enjoying it for summer and then maybe selling it :(

Bought myself my childhood dream car an e36 328i sport so don't have the room really for 3 cars :cry:

Removes the wheels, tyres, powdercoats them, refits the tyres, balances the wheels and fits them.

I am getting mine refurbished, but at £80 a wheel all in - southern prices! :(

Whilst the wheels are off I'll paint the callipers (black), paint the hubs, clean the wheel arches properly and then fit new centre caps and ///M badges. I have everything I need, just need to find the time.

The Zed will also be going to my local Indy to fix a clonking noise.

Then a full clean - clay mitt, scratch remover, sealant, wax. Have used Poorboys recently but it exposes the many stone chips I have on the bonnet, so will revert to Turtle Wax Black Box which fill in all the chips.
 
Service and a cooling system refresh at some point over the Easter holidays, hopefully there's a few dry days so I can enjoy it too!
 
Planning on fitting my newly refurbished steering wheel from royals and give my roof the renovo treatment. Just need some decent weather.... 8)
 
A good deep clean, new floor mats and start looking for a decent set of 18" wheels. Apart from that just use it more and enjoy it
 
I have got new calipers, discs and pads to fit and also got it booked in for a full paint correction and ceramic coating :driving:
 
this weekend I shall be:
cleaning the MAF,
eyeballing the brake pads, and
installing secondary lap belts.

In preparation for a trackday on sunday :)

You should upgrade to a Caffe Concerto coffee, they do much better serviettes :)
 
Steering wheel is in with Royals. Vanos seals at the end of the Month and then figure out what to do with the seats. :oops:
 
My list seems to be growing!

- replace brake calipers due to corrosion.
- disa valve upgrade.
- b12 shocks and springs.
- new sparks.
- new coil packs.
- new ashtray
- clean maf and check for leaks with hoses, replace as needed.

Think that’s it
