The Z3 is in hospital....

[Jonnysnapzzz]

Well more cosmetic surgery.

So I bought my first Z3 about 2 months ago and now starting to tidy it up a little. It was always in good nick but a few things need some love so this week it is in for:

Front bumper respray
Bonnet respray
wings respray
2x sills replaced.
Small rust spot removed from door.

Pending:

Replace stock 16' wheels with 18 MV1s
Tidy up seats - looking to reedy and revive scuffs and generally brighten up (Red)
Fit new seat belt guide (snapped taking seats out to replace bushes (already done grrr)

Pics to follow..... but did look like this

A few pics of he work in progress. A bit of rust to deal with in the wings but should scrub up.

Good to see another zed be preserved it's a shame the don't make abs sills or at least galvanised ones.

Nice choice on the MV1's! I really like them on the car, they just 'match' the style, IMO. I know it's not for everyone but, well, I like them!

Where are you based? I need to get some paintwork done, typically the sill covers :/

I will let you know when I get it back.
A friend of a friend runs quite a large body repair shop, does a lot of insurance work. Original plan was bumper and bonnet for 500 cash but this has now extended to the wings with blending into the doors.
Sills were bought at my expenses and added to the list.

It’s of course money I won’t get back but I’m planning on keeping the car so happy with that

There's something really satisfying about seeing freshly painted panels on a car. Looks great
