Needed to move the car that has been sitting but it cranks but not a titter. This car has sat for a while but whenever I need to move it it starts first turn. Not showing any fuel so I threw a gallon in but still the same, had a quick look under the bonnet and noticed the intake boot had rotted...

INTERIOR I have been a bit lazy and other projects seem to get in the way but I have been making steady progress on the interior. Dashboard has been painted rather than being covered, this is much cheaper and much easier and having done both I think painted looks better. When the dash is...

In very good condition, no signs of wear and no rips. One seat belt guide snapped the other missing. Seats only, no bases, collect from Egham Surrey.

Both windows are causing me problems, when you press the window switch the window will drop about2" then stop, press the switch again and the same will happen. It takes quite a few presses to get the window fully open The same happens when you put the window back up and it is the same for both...

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/dna-2fifty-cal/ Currentry at $190,000 with 4 days to go, how about a sweepstake for the final hammer price? I sent this kit out to Florida and the builder has made an amazing job, it has got to be the best ever made, If anyone fancies a go at building one...

If I leave the car either locked or unlocked after about 20 minutes the hazards start to flash and the only way to turn them off is to disconnect the battery. I suspect the alarm may be at fault maybe due to a drain but am only guessing but it happens when the car is left unlocked. I have...

I've started this thread to put it in the right location. I'm trying to keep it simple and cost effective. By using a BMW tonneau cover and my bulkhead it gives me the approx size and height that I need. I also have another body shell available that I can use to trace out the shape of the...

I'm after an old roof cover so that I can make a mould for a solid roof cover for a 250 replica. It will make it much easier to make, I know they fetch a decent sum in good condition so I'm hoping someone will have a cheap one in horrible condition as it probably won't survive the moulding...

Great condition, few minor marks but it is 23 years old! Moves freely and no corrosion on the base. £125 inc UK post

I thought i would share this build with you all. I shipped a kit out to the USA in the summer of 2020, the builder fitted a corvette V8 engine and gearbox and also made made improvements on the original kit, his skill sets are really something special. He does have a slight advantage over us...

I have an old 5.3 V12 jag running 6 weber carbs, my problem is that they do not provide enough vacuum to operate the brakes. Ferraris of the 70's suffered the same problem so they had a vacuum pump running off the end of the camshaft. The webers only have the front 2 carb intakes tapped to take...

The government is considering changing the MOT to every 2 years............your thoughts? Personally, I think it is a great idea, I'm pretty sure this is already the case in France. The annual MOT was introduced in 1967. Cars of this era needed UJ's and bearing regularly repacked with grease...

I have some black or the most desirable "hearing aid beige" door cards for sale. Perfect door pulls and leather trim, Drivers side £120, passenger side £100 or £200 a pair. Collection from Egham surrey or can post at cost.

I have swapped out the original steering wheel for a woodrim with no airbag. Does anyone know which are the 2 wires on the slip ring that connect to the horn push? Thanks

I was asked to fit a pair of door cards for someone, he hated the gap between the top of the BMW door card and the top of the outer doorskin but doesn't at the moment want to go for a full blown interior so this is intended as an interim (or should it be intertrim) solution. Rather pleased with...

Does anybody know what a single standard leather seat and base weigh? Paisley Freight will deliver a seat for £19 but a max weight of 30k, I suspect it might be more.

I messaged Gazhyde about the possibility of having a new section for rebodies and the response was positive and hopefully, it will be up and running in the next few weeks. Currently, these builds are in the progress section but as more threads are added they drop out of sight, with a dedicated...

Has anyone got one knocking about? It's normally the switch that goes so I'm hoping someone has a spare chrome knob from a faulty switch.

I hate the BMW battery terminals with the small vertical bolt for tightening the terminals. Mine are constantly loose so I get a clicking when starting the car and have to open the boot, give the terminals a wiggle and then it will start. I have the same problem on my other Z3's and my daughters...

For the last few months I have found the passenger footwell filling with water. It is only the passenger side and the car is parked slightly nose down. I have to regularly use the vacuum to get the water out. I had to remove the glove box for my central locking mod so thought I would lift the...
