Thanks for the reply. These vehicles aren't that scarce here, it's just the climate here is such that they never "die", so parts are very hard to come by.
In 20 years I have only come across 4 Z3's that have been stripped here. All of them were basically wiped out in accidents, so even those offered limited parts selection.
As regards your gas lifts, I have looked on eBay and they're pretty cheap there, so I have opted to get new. Thanks for your offer of collection, but I don't get to the UK that often..
I think I've found a couple of front wheel arch liners though. I'm seeing them later today.
I found clear bumper side markers in the USA for $23.00 excl postage, so ordered those.
Badges I'll also get off eBay, although the fella with the arch liners might have a couple.
My driver side window mechanism mountings are somewhat shot - metal fatigue, but I found a replacement in the UK on eBay for just £81 including shipping !! Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it listed. It's silver, so will need painting, but otherwise in 100% condition.
There's a guy here with a door, but he's asking £600 for it

Local parts are that scarce that they command stupid prices. At just £81 and possibly 20% duty it's a no brainer to get one from the UK and paint it. Painting won't be more than £50.
Thanks for your kind consideration in replying
