Hi all,

I'm hoping to get my first project car (2001 1.9 Z3) on the road by May after it’s sat on stands in my garage for 10 months.

I've serviced it and added new plugs and ignition leads, new valve cover gasket, refurbished and painted the brake calipers and replaced the brake hoses (and a section of brake line).

Changed the oil in the diff and the gearbox.

Wheels have been refurbed and powder coated and had new tyres.

To do: refit calipers and change brake fluid, front suspension struts and control arms, cooling system refresh with new thermostat and water pump and fit my new sills once they've been sprayed. Flush the power steering fluid too.

Oh, and fit new fuel tank straps (thanks Mazza!). And install the new Bluetooth stereo and DAB Ariel.

And fix the window which I think has come off its runner.

Got all the parts, all the tools, just need to find the time now...
