CubbyChowder finally got a BMW 2002 - it's project time

[CubbyChowder]

Another full day of work on the Roundie. I am dreaming of the day that I finish the body work on this car! So ready to have that behind me. Found another hidden glob of filler that was hiding a good sized dent in the door, so that sucked. Anyways, here we go.

Thought this looked kind of cool:



Got it down to bare metal:



Holes welded up:



Ground smooth:



Filler applied:



I forgot to snap a picture after I was done smoothing the filler, so here's how it looked after primer. Still needs some work:



Although I was a little discouraged and frustrated today working on the '02 thinking about how much more body work I have ahead of me, I cheered myself up by taking a step back and realizing how lucky I am to have an awesome work space in an amazing location where I get to work on my dream cars. I'm a very fortunate dude:

I honestly LOVE THE HECK OUT of everything you have done! This is how a true build is done and I love it man! Great work on a car that needs love! the final product is gonna be SO SEXY!

[WICKED WEISS]

MMMMMMM. So good man.

He does most of the work oh his days off from work, if im correct.

Yeah I do, I usually work 5 days a week and go up and work on the '02 on the two days that I have off. That's not to say that everyone has time to spend their only free days working on a project. I don't have school, a wife, kids, mortgage, debt, etc so I don't have too many obligations.

Plus, I'm lucky enough to have a very understanding girlfriend who is cool with me spending my free days on my '02, because she knows how important this project is to me and that I want to complete it.

Wow. This is phenomenal.

Makes me wish I had the time to work on an 02 like this.

The bare metal full shot looks outstanding.

If high res available, I think it would look great on my background.

Good work and it's nice to see this build coming along.
