A more traditional look may be the way forward for me after all but I will make a decision once I have got the kit back to my garage and can play around with it a little. |
Ahh, that all makes sense. I'll be aiming for as original a look as I can get it inside and out.
It's occurred to me that it would be a good idea to build this car inside out - to get the interior predominantly done while the roof's off so you've actually got some access. Just a thought. |

Hi Chris,
just back from holiday and can see the pictures properly now. It looks fantastic and I'm really looking forward to picking it up on Thursday morning. Cheers, Bob. |
Just got back to Norwich after picking the car up from Chris. A nice little 250 mile road test with a 1 hour rest on the M25 3 lane car park.
Dead chuffed with the car, and more importantly, my wife loves the look of it. Chris has really done a great job. A few more bits to come from Chris and paint/interior/wheels/odd bits from me when I've saved up. I'll do some better pictures of it as soon as I can. Will be good to see some of you at Stoneleigh on the Monday Bob. http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=230 http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=229 |
progress ?
Any more pictures, I am going to look at z3 tomorrow, silver with red and black interior, 2.2 auto, pictures good for insperation:roll:
|
Does it feel like you're driving a classic?
|
I'll take some more pictures tomorrow.
It feels like a classic as I look down the bonnet but it's easy to drive like a modern car, doesn't overheat in traffic and is really comfortable. I will need to make the interior a bit more 'classic' though. Cheers, Bob. |
That looks good, Bob.
Looking forward to your reports as details are added. Steve |

hurnleft - Congratulations Bob. :cool:
I still can't believe you have driven the "new" car home less than 3 weeks after you dropped the "old" one off! It is funny how the first photo just looks like someone has fitted modern BMW wheels to a classic car. Good luck with finishing it off, Paul. :) |
The car looks great, thanks for sharing the pictures, look forward to seeing more. Have you decided on wheels?

Have you decided on wheels?
I think that is a no-brainer - it should definitely have wheels! |
Amazing how you can take something as hideous as a Z3 and turn it in to a thing of beauty. Nice work by all involved, wire wheels look to be the obvious route but it is all down to personal preference.
|
Nice one Bob! I think if this had been available before I started my build, I would have had one!
Wait till the Towed sees the pictures! |
Thanks for your comments guys. Chris really has done a great job.
I've been posing about in this morning trying to arrange prices for paint and trim. Will make a proper plan when I've got prices in. Forgot to mention yesterday, the grille will be sent from Chris as soon as his suppliers get things sorted. Also he added a couple of lengths of pipe onto the back of the exhaust. This stopped any fumes trying to come into the cabin from the original shorter pipes. A friend lent me a really excellent centre cap with 3 eared spinner that he'd bought in from America. Just too big to push through the hole in a steel rim so I'll get the supplier's details and try to find something a bit smaller. I'll report back. Cheers, Bob. http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=234 http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=233 http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=232 http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=231 |
thanks for the pics Bob,
any chance of a close up of the petrol cap? cheers Mark |
Looks great. Without the finished paint and trim bits it looks like a barn find Ferarri

Hi Mark, The cap and parts are shown and listed on page 2 of the thread. The cap was fitted into a small moulding that already Chris has. Cheers, Bob. http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=237 http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=236 http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=235 |
