Frame Views

[briandilley]

Andrew:

I noticed some great shots of the Z8 frame (not the distorted views of the shock towers) that shows what the Z8 looks like under its skin. Is it possible to get a compiled picture thread of all cut away and frame drawings? I find the frame pictures to be very interesting, like one of the pics today on the splash page, one from a rear end collision repair and then the drawing that starts out the 2002 frame distortion thread.

This is the only technical diagram I have of the frame.

Andrew,

Isn't there a picture of a spare frame on little wooden wheels somewhere?

[macfly]

That sure sounds familiar, must be in the frame forum somewhere, sadly the software can't search by pictures. Look up posts by DWZ8 as I think it was his shot.

Here they are. Andrew, you can grab them for the gallery, if you want:

What a wonderful set of images for us to have, thank you so much for sharing these, and I've made this thread sticky.

Yeah, that is what I am talking about! Thanks for making it a sticky Andrew - we can add to it. Also, there was a thread about a rear-ended Z8 and pics of the repair to the rear frame structure. Does anyone else remember that?

These show the very accurate work that is done by the experts at BMW's Aluminum repair Center in Oxnard.
