Time for an overhaul of my 1.9 '98 BMW Z3 Individual

You didn’t need to take the door card off.. wires come out of the back of the motor easily enough (as you have found) and they are colour coded too

thanks mate...I realise that now but I'm claiming the forensic approach... plus I need to spray the speaker grills black

thanks mate

Probably a bit late now but I have a topaz blue back moulding with the 4 posts intact …. but you would have to spray it !!!

thanks Malc.. I'll see how my JB weld mod holds up

ok not much happening today, but I did put the mirror back together.... looking FAR more like it now !.... and yes the over spray on the cable bothered me that much I sprayed the insulation black...

Now that I'm turning my attention to the body panels and trim.. I did an audit of my sprays...... I only have the offside sill to paint and what's left in that can isn't going to be enough, so at least one more can from my German friends is needed. The other cans here are 2K clear coat. When you puncture the base to mix spray with hardener, you have about 36 hours to use it.

Then I thought about the anti gravel strip that runs the bottom half of the sill. The stuff I have on the right isn't really textured enough although it could do

I know some people have used Gravitex on theirs so I might look into that.
