Hey, very cool story and I'm glad you're maintaining the car. Keep it up!
Bringing my dad's car back to its former glory and beyond

Been a while since I've posted so I figured I'd throw in some pictures I've taken since the wheels were installed and a couple projects I've been working on.
Shortly after installing the wheels I threw an 8mm spacer on the rears to get them sitting a bit more flush with the front. So now Im at et25 in front and et17 in the rear
With these new silver faced wheels with polished lips, I'm trying to move more towards that color scheme with the car overall. So I purhcased some 87 pop-outs from a local member and pulled upper door trim from an 87 at pick-n-pull. The pop-outs need a little paint stripper applied, but will soon do the trick!
And some pictures I couldnt resist taking while walking away after parking... I know you all know the urge!
Sorry the pictures are low quality and always bad lighting, but its just the nature of the beast.Last edited by dadsbmw; 08-03-2015, 03:20 PM.2003 Z4 3.0 6-speed- Silver, 19's, daily driver

Good progress so far. You should definitely paint the rear parcel shelf. I did on my 318is:

Good call, I agree. However I've gotta find a grey that matches the interior well...2003 Z4 3.0 6-speed- Silver, 19's, daily driver
