Z3 project...no going back now!
- Thread starter Pondrew

Spaldingski
So after much work, swearing and losing the will to live (again), my shiny new wire wheels are finally on the car. Goodyear all seasons were chosen as the rubber of choice, due to their looking quite 'traditional', being V rated (I needed these as my Z3 has a top speed of 140+) and about the only model of tyre in the size I could get in less than 3 months!
Never known fitting a set of wheels to a car to be such a PITA, mainly due to my Z3 not really being suitable for such small wheels (15").
I am now officially a 'master' with a 4.5" grinder, that's for definite!
It does now no longer look anything like a Z3, which is a huge bonus for my sense of achievement.
Interior should be ready early next week, dash is going back in for the final time (hopefully) tomorrow. New suspension to sort out the arch gaps is due to be fitted end of next week.
I have almost sorted the external 'pretty bits', so may be ready for the road (or at least MOT) during August.

The car is moving on at a pace. I have now officially fallen in love with it (even after the headaches it has caused me and no doubt still will).
Dashboard finished, installed, tested and 100% working.
Wiring to said dash tidied. Rear view mirror fitted. Stereo fitted properly, tested and working.
Steering wheel and altered slip ring sorted (almost). Footwell trim pieces re-installed.
I now have a working oil pressure gauge; it runs very high (70psi) when cold.

Always looking for a job opportunity
Fair pointIf that was the case, I wouldn’t warn him of the risk
I just don’t want to read his tirade when it happens
No and no. They look bigger in the photo. Just small toggle switches (for the front and rear fogs).
