Palmetto
Zorg Legend
I thought I'd create a thread to document what is happening with my new Palmetto Green 2.8. She's been christened Bella, by my wife.
I went through the history today, and it's got the booked stamped until 2008, then invoices for regular services, MOTs, new calipers, brakes/discs, wheel bearing, axle carrier bushes, diff bush, tyres, wheels powder coating, tracking, clutch/flywheel.
Whilst very presentable, there are some areas that will need improving. The ends of the sills have a bit of rust. I want to catch these before they get worse. There are a few parking dings. There is also a noise (https://zroadster.org/threads/what-is-this-noise.34901/#post-552991), which may be the belt tensioner.
The mileage is currently around 104300. After getting her home.
Close up of the sill ends.
The bumper doesn't align properly on this side. It may have taken a slight bump.
The paintwork around the badge on the passenger side gill isn't that great.
The drivers side is a lot better and I suspect it has been off and painted, as I can detect a minor difference in the shade. And it's a few MM to the right.
The passenger side lens is cracked and there's some chipped paint.
Finally, the door handle gaskets have seen better days.
It will need the seat bushes replacing too (no surprise there).
Future plans include replacing various suspension bushes, cleaning and painting the underside and components etc. I don't have any big plans yet, as it's my first Z3 and I want to enjoy her.
