Z3 project...no going back now!
No going back now as sold most of the body panels over the weekend.
In for the long haul, even if it scares me shiteless.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

That is the easy bit. You have done all the difficult bits so far!
£1,000 in and it's not worth a penny now! Just about to push the button on £20k of expenditure without it being driveable (or even painted).
If my wife knew she would be even more annoyed with me than usual!
