Hello!

I thought that I would start a thread about my build. I spent a few months in finding a good donor car. I ended up buying a 2,2liter Z3 from 2001. The car had 180 thousand kilometres on the clock and was in overall good condition - besides the fact that engine was hydrolocked.

I took the car home and first thing I did was I pulled the engine. Hydrolocking was caused by leaking headgasket. I consider myself extremely lucky that the engine didn’t have a bent rod.
I have also removed...
