69 BMW Euro Trash

do it please, but really ill pay $400 for a working mig, i dont care if its old

Craigslist is your friend. I found my 200 amp mig w/tank (1000x better than a flux core) for $500, so a smaller one should be right in your price range.

I have faith in this build.

I dont

i just put the calipers on
i couldnt find the pads, but i put them on now so it will save time later.

at first i couldnt find the bolts, but thankfully i found some bolts off a mk4 jetta that i parted, and they fit perfectly

of corse after i finished i found the actual ones, but the mk4s seem to be in better condition so they will stay
the old ones
i still love that one of them is gold


fluid and pads once i can get alex's bleeder hose, i dont want to spend $2 if i dont have to

more tomorrow maybe

is this supposed to be a rat rod?

i would love to do something like this, and make a real rat rod, but keep a bmw motor in it, maybe in the far future, and keep the rears in the fenders but thats just me dreaming

Like most of the other comments, I'm not really sure how to feel on this build. On the one hand I'm glad to see that this car wasn't scrapped, the early 1602's are getting harder and harder to come by. At the same time, it's kinda painful to look through some of the 'repairs' that were done. I would say my '02 was pretty close to the same condition when I first got it, but it's well on it's way to recovery now.

In the end all that really matters is that your getting enjoyment out of it. Just make sure it's safe to drive for you, your passengers, and the other people out on the road with you.

as for the quality i am hopefully taking a welding and fabrication class next semester, so if i can get welding down, and upgrade from a broken flux core we may be seeing the build quality turn around. i love all the 02 builds on here, and if i had some time i would do some legit work, but that will most likely have to wait till summer or at least spring
for now its just a fun junker to dick around with.
that being said once i do have time it still isnt gonna be restored, if anything ill body drop it and run some stupid wheels

i dont think you guys get that this is a $250 car, if i wanted a legit 2002 i would buy a shell and swap this motor over, but this is like having a big rc car where i can do whatever i want and just re paint it or throw a new body on

........... This deffinenetly ain't heist's build lol..... Meh ill stick around and see where this goes, hopefully it turns around...


And please don't call it a rat rod, rat rods were never about building cars that would most likely fall apart

something tells me that even a rat rod would have even better build quality. I guess the man loves self-tapping sheet metal screws and reflective road signs. This car was salvageable.

What you fail to understand is that it would be beyond a waste of money to repair this POS.

I've done a lot of the work on this car. The amount of rust damage and body straightening needed is ridiculous.

[lewda]

your guess is a as good as mine.

hey, so i havnt done anything to this in a while, its been cold and rainy and i need a garage

anyways this weekend i am going to try to get some work done on it, and after that is thanksgiving break so if I'm not in a food coma from mr.turkey then i will get some work knocked out

I mean how could you not want to work on it walking past this every day



also i was messing around with the fifteen52 instarim app, and did this

i like it a lot, i may get a junkyard set for cheap and either sell or refinish the RAs

this is a rat... keep going, just make its safe for yourself and others... that bed is shaky.
