Getting better and better ,
Geoff .
Mister Towed as far as I understand it what makes a wide-body Z3 are the various panels that are bolted onto the structure and therefore once unbolted there would be no difference , Geoff .
That`s the plan , Geoff .
It has been a fair while but it will be worth it , thanks Geoff .
Good evening , any body want to buy a set of classic MINI door handles?
never raced or rallied! Geoff .
Evening Bob , thought you would , Geoff .
Good afternoon all things being equal and dependant on the workload that Chris and Dan take on! should be 3 weeks , Geoff .
Morning Steve , yes I am , the train is booked and counting the days , Geoff .
Afternoon Nick can give you a wave from the train on the way through Southampton! from London , will be straight up t` north when car picked up , Geoff .
M5 up until Worcester then scenic Kidderminster Telford way , its not lowered yet! still thinking dark Blue , pretty sure all the Tribute 250SWBs will be Blue , Geoff . PS anyone recommend a sound deadening supplier?
Good evening thanks for all the positive words , I will investigate the info provided about the sound deadening , the wheels are the famous Minilites (well famous to anybody who remembers rallying in the 60s/70s) originally made by Tech Del Ltd and currently being made in Telford , the wheels on my car were made in Telford and designed for an E type Jag , one word of warning it is possible to buy a cheaper Minilite copy made in China (there are plenty of the Chinese ones on Ebay , the tyres on my car are Pirelli P6000 185/65/15 V rated , nearly new but part worn imports from Germany , not everyone will want to go the part worn route but they were exactly the right size (and price) for the look I was aiming at , thanks Geoff .
Just noticed two more questions , the filler cap is easily reachable without it having been modified , may be badged as Pininfarina no decision yet , Geoff .
Evening , have in the last week purchased the following ,
Sound Deadening, Bonnet Pins and Rubber Channelling , OK not the most exciting items ,

Not quite sure why I bought 10m! , but it is a lot cheaper as its not marketed for cars .
Have installed the bonnet pins and the action feels spot on , if its not raining tomorrow then I will make a start on the channelling . Was at Tatton Park on Sat and met somebody (sorry can not remember your user name) who reads Madabout (Tribute Section) , and my only purchase was 2 Chrome racing style mirrors which are actually usable (using Convex glass) , cheers Geoff .
Morning Bob the bonnet pins are quality , although the area at the top that you press to release the pin is small and does take some pressure , saying that they do fix the bonnet firmly .
Ref the sound deadening it is not self adhesive so I bought a spray glue from the same company , this did not work very well so I`ve know tried a different spray glue from B&Q .
If anybody wants a couple of square metres of the sound deadening please get in touch , thanks Geoff .
