Do a bit of photography in my spare time so here's some shots from an industrial style shoot using the Z3/cobra thingy mishmash :) https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7559/16019053092_0b80a0cc30_c.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7554/15832491790_e8d33c50d9_c.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7471/160...

wow I have been in the car body repair business for over 30 years now and have always had a love of cobras .that is impressive 8-) tho I do agree lose the front spoiler and lower the front a tad and maybe blend the rear arches . your a talented man Thanks for the kind words but the kit was develope...

blueface

Funny you should say that as I had the hood down today :) More than happy to give you a look a it anytime. I live just outside Moneymore so it shouldn't be too hard to get together! Still got jobs to do to it though so you'll have to excuse that. I'm away next week but the week after we could meet i...

blueface

Baz, I don't suppose it was you I saw in Cookstown a couple of days ago with the hood down just outside Danske Bank area?

blueface

One slight oddity since getting it back on the road is that the temperature is minus 40 outside according to the car!?! Outside temp sensor got disconnected or is faulty. Got disconnected alright. I'd cut it off by accident when tidying up the old lighting wires! All reattached and working properly...

blueface

love to see it with side pipes, bet there is no way to get the exhaust through though.. Love that pic! Suppose anything is possible with enough effort. I was just keeping it as straightforward as possible and my wife will be taking it to work most days so didn't want to do anything too radical in t...

Wow look at all those kids' bikes! How many kids do you have? Five? Lol. No my parents live out the back of my house and my mother babysits children! I've 2 kids at secondary school. I like it much better than Bertini kit. Real cobra is much smaller, right? Not sure Deni. Haven't had it beside a 'p...

Thanks Dave, it's Plymouth Prowler Orange. Took me a while to decide on colour but decided to steer away from any familiar cobra styles.

Just a couple of pics to show the basics of the conversion. Panels mainly come off with a socket set and the new panels bolt to the same places.

blueface

Just posting some pics of my z3 body conversion as some have expressed an interest in it previously. Obviously not to everyone's tastes but if you're genuinely interested and have questions please ask away. Still jobs to do as I havent even got the inner boot panel fitted yet or inner wheel arches. ...

blueface

Ah right. That thread makes it clear to me now what needs done. I'll have another go shortly!

Many thanks! Top post!

blueface

As per title, trying to remove the door handles and have found the guide online here. Seems so simple in the guide but I just can't figure out how to do it! !

Any further help or guidance greatly appreciated! !

Now sold through ebay!!

Hi Sound quality is excellent Obviously a lot of functions on it but it seems fairly straight forward to use. My brother drove the car home for me (500 miles) and programmed the sat nav without the manual so can't be too bad really. Don't know anything about the Ipod connection as im an android guy!...

blueface

Once again had to check the manual but yes it has separate controls for front rears and subwoofer. Thanks for the interest.

blueface

Ermmm. ... just asked my wife as she drove the car more than I did with the stereo in it. She can't remember either

Did the sensible thing and read the manual. Volume is on the left!

blueface

Thanks for that. Apologies for the wrong info regarding the volume earlier. Not the most observant at the best of times!

blueface

I haven't the skills to make one unfortunately. It's this one: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tribute-Automotive-KOBRA-BMW-Z3-based-Cobra-body-conversion-kit-car-NO-IVA-/191211334733 Will post up a thread about it when I get the body further along. Just working on getting the fit right and Sanding it flat ...

Hi all, it's definitely a 7950 and I didn't use it much but pretty sure it's amber! Sorry don't think I'm in need of any parts currently. Intend buying wheels in the near future but that's about it! Memory fails me as to which side the volume knob is. Think it was the right but like I said only have...

**** SOLD **** Head unit: Indianapolis Pro 7950 Built in Bluetooth, sat nav, MP3/CD player. Very good condition and will look excellent in any single din placement.

Na, decided the roll bars couodnt be connected to the stereo so just removed every body panel instead.

just prepping the car for a body kit conversion. Will likely start a thread about it sometime soon.

blueface

I know what you mean. Was struggling to get the panel out so tried removing the front end to see if that helped.

blueface

Could get my hand in but couldn't see what was restricting it when I only removed the two screws for the centre console side panel, so ended up removing the entire glove box. Got it out after some huffing and puffing but still none the wiser what was catching. At least it a sorted now :) Thanks for ...

blueface

That's a great help. Will try that and see. Many thanks for taking time to reply, both of you.

blueface

Thanks man. Looks like I'll be pulling apart the interior then!

blueface

Yes, simple job or at least it should be but I cannot for the life of me get the becker headunit out. The keys go into the slot and lock in place but it barely moves. Have used a lot of force and scared of something breaking now. Seems to be caught mainly on one side. Will I have to remove the side ...

blueface

Nice job on the seats but looking at the rest of your pics are you responsible for the pics of the girls? I like the one in the forest with the smoke effect. Yeah, I do some portraiture in my spare time. That shoot was one of my recent favourites. Just playing around with ideas that week and added ...

Also bought the leather restoration kit that a couple of others have used, from Furniture clinic. My car has a cream/beige interior that looks pretty dated so will be progressively painting parts of it black to leave it black and cream. Spent all yesterday stripping back the beige seats and re colou...

blueface

Sounds like a good idea. Will try that and see. Many thanks.

Does anyone else have a constant squeak from the hood/ back window at town speeds? When I say squeak, its not a squeak as such. More of a creak. Its the noise of plastic moving ever so slightly backwards and forwards in some way! Comes from the rear bar of the frame or the back window perhaps. Any p...

I tried a few years back using an aerosol for a repair and it turned out pretty good. Next I tried respraying a Lotus 7 type kit car which was really just the nose and the wings. That turned out nice too. So next I bought a cheap spray gun and sprayed an Mx5 and an old Beetle. Thing is if you make a...

There you go!

Described perfectly by the seller and my brother went over on Saturday to collect it and drive it the 500 miles home. Car behaved impecably for the whole distance.

blueface

Now sorted with a 1998 2.8 which goes rather well!

blueface

Small world for sure. Just had a nosey at your posts Barry. Rather you than me trying to sort out the electrics!! All the best with that and I'm sure we'll cross paths sometime soon.

blueface

Thanks for the welcome guys. Certainly does seem to be very few options round here so currently chasing a car in the south of England. I'm from just outside Moneymore near Cookstown. Certainly won't be expecting to make any money on thr car, just keen to get something I can use for a wee project. :)...

Hi to all,

Just joined up as I'm currently seeking my first Z3 and on the look out for a lowish mileage 6 cylinder.

Willing to travel anywhere in the UK for the right car. Budget up to 3k but would be willing to do some bodywork if I have to!

blueface

HI Gizzie,

Just joined the forum after seeing this thread. Would car still be available for sale as I'd be very keen. Dont think I can PM currently due to just joining so if you could get back to me it would be hugely appreciated.

Have cash here so if all checked out I'd take it.
