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

Good progress Matt, it's so shiny under there you won't want to drive it. You'll be eating your dinner of it

It's certainly not going out on salty roads mate....rain will be questionable as well!

Great work mate, looks amazing under there!

What did you end up doing about the bracket for the fuel/brake line, where the clip had sheared off leaving the screw in the threaded post? I can see you managed to get it sorted!

Lovely job that mate. Those rear drop link lower brackets are sided and have a very slight twist to them, Best way to get them right is when its all back on the car and the arms are raised.

erm....er...um...I haven't...it's what they call "youtube ready"...because the pipes slightly splay out the clip, I was able to clip on the metal cap as it has a little metal tang. I could just pull it off again. I do need to sort that.

thank you mate..that's interesting as they're the same part number..unless I just flip them round in situ?

one thing I did think of was cutting the shank off a bolt, JB Welding it to the stud that's left and securing with a nut
