#ZedShed Velvet Z3 2.0 Individual Rescue

[t-tony]

Slacken the cable adjusters right off so the cables are totally slack. Adjust the shoes up till they lock the drums, tap round the drum with a hammer and tighten the adjuster if possible. Slacken the shoe adjuster about 4 "clicks" or, until the drum spins freely. Best to push the calliper pistons back so the pads are off the discs too. Having done both sides the same then re adjust the cables until you have 4-6 clicks on the lever and the wheels lock at the same click. Lock off the cable adjuster nuts with the lock nuts.

Tony.

What's your method of adjusting the handbrake.

Only job I have left on mine

What @t-tony said but I'll simplify it @5harp3y

Adjust the rear shoes so you can hear them just rubbing on the drum then half a turn back, I then climb inside the car and do the final adjustment under the handbrake gator.

Great work on the restoration and best of luck with the sale!

Hope you were videoing all this fabulous hard work guys. Sounds like the foundation of a great tv show
ZedShed TV - on freeview, freesat, Sky, Virgin and all other major platforms. You're millionaires

 

[Tracy Dee]

Or at the very least YouTube . You can practice a bit more on my car if you want.
Seriously it's running fine.

You laugh this has been discussed We could have a "going live feed"

I jest but, many a true word said in jest. It would be great to share your work as it happens and afterwards too.

Do you guys do this with the wheels on or off?

You can do it with them on but its easier with them off.

We go with the OEM Boge shocks. Same as what BMW supply. Bought through GSF the fronts are £54 each and the Rears £29 each.

Thank pal, good price.

Am I missing something, when I check the website and enter my Z3 2.8, prices proposed are more than twice these?!?! #zedshed special volume buyer discounts?

If you were local I could get them for you, unfortunately it only applies to us at our local GSF.

The finish line is in sight. The freshly painted bonnet looks amazing!

So much new paint

This weekend will have her ready for a new owner.

[PHILIP BAXTER]

Another one saved. Great work at the Z Shed again. Well done guys and girls.

Little update, Bonnet is now on and aligned. We did find one of the bonnet catches broken so that's being sorted. She got turfed out the garage for the next project. She will be up for sale soon making her new owner happy. Watch this space

 

[5harp3y]

looks awesome!

 

[Tracy Dee]

Looks really nice good colour if mileage was lower i might have been interested pointless getting higher than mine which is 78 k. Especially as its sorted mechanically and running great.
Why roof cover ?
Great job as always.

 

[DavidM]

Great work by all involved - someone will be getting a very nice Zed!
