Door cards so far
The handle hole can be used or when we do the fake window winder that's electrically operated it will cover it or the door opener , I can't remember which goes where now !
feature in this months kitcar magazine out on Friday
Great feature! Car looks a million (£48k?) dollars
Slightly over effusive write up c/w that author's previous outings (could he be angling for something? ) - although having seen it in real life you can't argue.
Spooky that the guestimate resale value came up considering the other DNA has just gone to market on ebay.
Real shame they felt the need to run the narcissistic back page article after everything had settled - it'll only serve to reinforce everyone's views, whichever side of the fence they were on.
Hi Danny ....Mike sold the car for £45k, he at the moment
has one at the paintshop and fitting a body on another,
Bloody quick worker, we dont turn them around that
quick. !!!
hi danny,yes the one on ebay went for 45k.and since my mates seen mine in paint hes just gone out and bought a 3.0ltr z3 and is stripping it in october to do one.looks like there will be a good turn out of them at the shows next year.brian from DNA took one to a classic car show this summer and it went down a storm.
That will make all the difference, whenever I look at the rear I think MGB, it may be because I owned one but this will make it so much better.
I was looking at the advert on Ebay for the one that just sold and two things came to mind. Firstly there is a picture of the rear end with the lights on, the rear numberplate lights clearly shine on the bodywork well below the numberplate, the bumper looks to be too low.
The second thing was that although it looks very nice not to have a join showing on the sill, it may be a good idea to have a join under the front of the door. That way the front clamshell could be removed for major engine work. If the cars are going to sell for these sort of sums they will be around for a long time so future maintenance needs to be as accessible as possible.
I have just noticed on the DNA forum the Daytona 365 project starting up, really interested in it but for some reason I can't find out how to post there.
Also the dash /interior is done, a couple of cars have them in and are at the trimmers
They got window winders that work on micro switches , so you get the look of a winder but operates the electric windows
Should of got a video of it working but didn't!
I would love to have the knowledge to be able to fit a set of more retro instruments into the existing Z3 binnacle, not the whole dash just the binnacle and maybe a couple of extra instruments in the centre console. Problem is I'm crap at electrics so would need a wiring diagram to work from. I presume airbags,abs eat dash lights would also have to be kept for MOT purposes.
