Hi, Old boss is trying to sell me this BMW Z4. Shes a nice looking wagon. Just wondering if anyone here recognises it can tell me anything more about it. Cheers!

we bit concerned about the brakes - i bled them myself using a wheel pressure kit - they work but brakes - just want a professional to check them for me to be sure

YEOOOOOOO FINALLY FINISHED. booked in for MOT next week - gonna drop round to mechanic to spot check her to make sure im not a complete spaz on a few things (probably find loads) then away we go! Cheers everyone for the help along the way!

Cheers Tony. Got them out. In classic form the one I wanted doesn't have central locking. So having to paint strip the one in the above pic and reinstall it. Not so bad. If I sanded on door I know id have made a dog's dinner of the door so least there's that lol

Aye Tony. Long time coming. Just need to get the wings sourced now and we are good. Need to see how to replace/remove door handle. That one is from my last one I smashed. Whoever sprayed it sprayed the door handle???? Have a wing mirror just needs a spray and a antenna grommet and that's it all...

First time out of the garage in about 9 months. Blood sweat and alot of swear words and giving off later and we are on 4 wheels again. Unreal. Had to just get her out into sun and sit in her for 20 mins for the pure cod of it. Been a long time coming!

Rodney you still a z holder? I'm not far away from an MOT booking!

Sills finally sprayed, clear coats and wet sanded down to 5k grit and polished. Can hopefully start the body build tomorrow or Thursday then all I need is the front wings. (I'm correct in thinking I can put sills and all on then wings can be last thing placed on?)

so been doing a few things last few days. Got my exhaust "fixed" - its not the prettiest nor the best welding in the world (never held a welder in my life - always good to start upside down and under a petrol tank!) so given the circumstances I'm fairly happy with it. it cleaned up better...

Nah in the pics the brake pipes are just sitting - not in final resting place. i tightened them but not full tight. just good hand tight.

Got the brake lines done and the rear sub all tightened up. Had a bit of issue with one of the brake lines. Had to repipe and reflare but all good now. Looked to see what was left to do and what can be done. Got the rear bumper back on and lights in. Lovely seeing that booty back again...

it only took me 2 hours. but we have now a functional handbrake - yeooooooo :coolsteer)

@Mazza your tank straps are a tidy job. Cheers for those :thumbsup:

Success! 3hrs later it's up and in. Need to tidy cabling and brake lines etc and sort the handbrakes out but my god am I pleased with myself. Diff needs a we clean down. Been sitting gathering dust for about 5-6 months lol

OK so. The rear subframe fun continues with more of my inherited irish stupiditity. *Disclaimer: mechanic who pushed the hub in also didnt spot this booboo either* Was sitting after id got the handbrake shoes all made up. discs on. all set out nicely on the floor admiring the near closing...
