    Been using it a lot recently (has been my daily drive) and really enjoying it!

    KW's have definitely been the best mod so far :-)

    Winter maintenance is going to be a bit of a clean underneath, sort blowing exhaust. Check valve clearances and a full service. where is the best place to buy oil, filters, plugs, etc?

        This so called "tilting lift" is some of the best buys I have done regarding tools for a long time. It is perferct for a small sized car like Z3M :

          I want to fix my rear wiper that has given up the will to wipe and also need to fit my new scuttle panel.

          I also want to fix my drivers window that hasn't worked for ages (can hear the relay clicking but it doesn't drop, not even when opening the door). Strange thing was in started working again the other week, only for about 3 days, before dying again

          Whether they'll get done is another matter as spare time is at a premium

          Still having thoughts about a new exhaust as well....

              Spot weld failure

              After I have finished decorating the landing the time has come to drop the rear subframe and repair the boot weld failure
              Going to replicate the Randy Forbes kit (Its far to expensive to ship over)
              Re bush the trailing arms ,mounting points , diff etc re paint and reseal as required .....far more satisfying than painting and decorating!!!!!!!!

                Not much planned at the moment, mirrors and acs rear spoiler being repainted at the moment, on the look out for new or new old stock parts as always.

                  I’m going to do an underside bush and suspension restoration and potentially look into fitting a double ear diff cover.

                    Dreaded Vanos rebuild (too tight to pay up to 2k). Got the parts, just need a pint or two of courage!!
                    Followed by a sump gasket replacement (dreading this more than the vanos!).
                    One or two little patches on the bodywork need tidying as well.
                    Wish me Luck!!!

                          My MC is currently at Munich Legends.
                          I think all the work is done (pretty much anyway) and had planned to collect it Thursday and was going to update my journal to document everything done.

                          As the lockdown was pretty inevitable I had then planned to fit the BMW Business CD43 headunit, Bluetooth module & retrimmed steering wheel that I have acquired to while away some time.

                          Well that’s that plan scuppered!

                            Looks like business as usual for car MOT's

                              They're automatically extending MOTs by 6 months for vehicle due for renewal after 30th March:

                                Matter of time but glad they have acted fairly quickly
