Hello from Scotland

[martyb]

Hey there fowks,

Some of you may notice me from the other zed forum and a few associated fb pages.

Just wanted to say Hey!!
I'll get some pics of my car on in due course as im on the mobile right now.

Basically I started just over a year ago with a 97 1.9 z3 and since gave it a pretty big overhaul.

Full respray
new hood
facelifted the centre console
engine cooling system overhaul
most gaskets etc replaced on the engine
rear suspension renewed
brakes renewed all round.
front top seals done.
style 18 alloys refurbished by myself
Simota induction kit fitted
Just generally alot of tlc put into it.

My dream for the car

rear m bumper, bootlid and wider arches etc fitted with quad pipes (no m badges though i dont like that sort of thing.) Already started gathering some parts.

Big brake kit fitted to fill the inside of the wheels.

Find some m wheels (i think these suit the car the best)

Renew all suspension with poly bushes and maybe coilovers.

Then im either going to go down the road of supercharger for the 1.9 or an engine swap to a bigger unit.


Some may say im daft but hey it keeps me happy and everybody loves a project!

Cheers guys hope to get to know some of you soon
