Worrying wet patch emerging from the front though! Hope it wasn't the reason for having the bonnet up...

This is great news buddy. Really pleased you can finally enjoy your car. The braces look great under that bonnet.

I've just done the same. Looked like a hell of a project, and I'm sure what you posted wasn't even the half of it! Snap shots of progress aren't the same as actually being there from start to finish.faz_b wrote:Just read this from end to end.... thats a hell of a commitment.

enjoy it chap!
This says it all! Well played and enjoy!paddy wright wrote:Well done! A great project against the odds and one more Z stays alive

I've been rumbled unfortunately a bolt holding powersteering pump in place worked its way loose, scored the back of the pulley, overtime weakened and ended up exploding.
Back on the road now

Just like to say thank you to people who have helped me on my journey and thank you for the criticism from a minority that made me more determined.

Not totally complete in my eyes but she's a fully functional beast. Had a new M5 owner contact me to let me know the car sounds awesome. Quite shocked, made it all worth while [IMG]http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b62 ... ecexlw.jpg[/IMG]
