Right hopefully I've cracked the picture posting.
I'll start with a piccy of the base car, it's a 1.9 narrow body for £1100 including travel to Swansea and driving back selling off the bonnet and other bits the total came to £970. I've got to get this picture thang cracked |

Thanks redratbike for the hint so here goes.
http://<a href="http://s1127.photobu...ized/Z32-1.jpg[/IMG] I think I've cracked it, when purchased one of the faults was a fuse blowing removed the sleeve and bingo then a new MOT straight thru now I take it apart no disc cutter required http://<a href="http://s1127.photobu...esized/Z33.jpg[/IMG] http://<a href="http://s1127.photobu...esized/Z34.jpg[/IMG] now lets see! |
I seem to have cocked up agian with my pics a little box with a red X in it.........

You should be able to edit your earlier effort to make sure it's in this format. Good luck |

The bit you need is just - http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/...esized/Z34.jpg If you use Chrome as your browser you can simply right-click on the picture and select "Copy Image URL" you then put [ img] but without the space, paste in the URL (CTRL-V) and then [/ img] again without the space https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui...&sz=w1342-h515 |
thanks guys, Chris is going to stick some more on here and the Z3 is a lovely drive but that compares to the spyder and a jago geep. The spyder is going to be painted for early next year slowly coming back together........
|
Yay- another one on the way- is yours #2 or #3 ???
|
Not sure of the number Ian Chris is the one to ask, been using her for a couple of weeks

Color
Hi,
Are you intend to leave your car in silver? I'm thinking of a z300s In silver. Do you have already some pictures? Best regards |
Hi Hutson, yes the original BMW colour with 2 black stripes like a dodge viper, I've some pictures but as you can see from the begining of the thread I'm having trouble uploading them. It's not painted yet but I'm using it daily to find any niggles before the paint goes on early next year, regards PAT

Silver Z300S
Hi Pat, that will look great! I would like to change the mirrors (http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-CHROME-UNI...-/181499953281) and put on bolt on wire wheels. I am not sure about the rear lights, they must wear an E mark on the continent. I'll fallow your project as I am intend to start mine next year (retirement).
Regards, Walter |
Walter hi, I have a set of those mirrors but they are not very good as mirrors but look good on the car still trying to find the best place on the doors or forward on the wings, my rear lights are BMW from a 2002 with a red lamp in the drivers side clear lens as a fog lamp,I'll try and get some more pictures on later cheers Pat..
|
Pat - If you put your mirrors on the door then mount them further back than on mine. I have to use a small child's hand to fit the bolts inside the doors. Also the passengers side is purely cosmetic unless you want to look at the pavement behind you as you drive.
|
I would recomend to stay clear of them wing mirrors, i have them on my mx250 and cannot see a thing out of them!
|
The thrust bearing has just eaten it's way through the clutch bugger was making a noise should have done it sooner, got to be done as shes going to Chris n Dan for a remodelling on friday....

Good luck with the clutch Pat. Hope to still see you on Friday.
|
It started with a bit of a squeak, it's not just the thrust bearing it has destroyed the plate, cover, the duel mass flywheel (all the rivets rolled out the bell housing) and the thrust bearing housing tube on the gearbox, I'll still be at Chris 'n' Dans on Friday...

Pictures of rear end reduction on Pat's Z300S, I will leave the words to Pat:

Is that to compensate for a narrow body donor?
|
Or smaller wheels?
|
Got it in one Mr towed, it's flattened the sides and raised the arch I'm more than pleased with the out come and also resolved my filler hole problem, now awaiting the Audi TT cover. I shall endeavor to get my photos on now I've redone my browser. Chris did a brilliant job and I learnt a few tricks of the trade had a good natter and a laugh and done in a day 8.30 till 4.30. She should look good when I get the taller tyres on and the paint in Febuary,,,,,,, cheers
|
As you can see from the wheels my man cave is down a Devon lane.....
|
Pat, do you have your TT cover? I have one that I am not using.
|
Oxford 1360, I'm watching one on fleabay, but if yours is going I'm inerested in that have you got a price in mind and a p&p, cheers, Pat
|
I'll pm.
|
Oxford 1360, thanks Rob, cheers Pat
|
Hi folks well the end of the month see's her coming off the road for paint I've been running her for a few months mainly to watch for problems like cracking around the arches, they are tough shells my only problem was hitting a wall at low speed barely marked the nose but bent the bonnet hinges, tilt front ala Spitfire. The Audi filler cover is ready to mount (thanks oxford 1360) and the rear number plate is going to be frenched in the front plate has had to be mounted in the grill for the sake of the anpr entry to work a few piccy's coming shortly
|
What colour are you going for?
|
Hi Danny, the BMW silver with black viper strips
