Project 02

[mpower5266]

Haha, I have been thinking about doing an 02 project as well. Sounds like almost exactly what I wanted to do.

I'm going to live vicariously through you if you don't mind.

Not a problem, and if you wanna paypal some cash ill let you drive it once or twice.

MAN I wish I had such a clean car to start a build with, cant wait to see how she turns out.

You should half polish her just like you did that plane.

[mpower5266]

Steel doesnt polish up as well as aluminum.

That really is a nice and straight body you're starting with! Wish that my touring shell was half as nice.

The rear panel rust is no problem. However, rusty front fenders means that the vertical brace behind them is probably gobe too. Not such a big deal, though...

Please keep us posted!

I think everything is ok behind there, I did alot of checking when I bought it. Its been inside since then.

[HarryPR]

Good deal.

Here's a pic of what I'm up against:



It's being worked on at Carma Motorsports in Chamblee-Dunwoody Road.

I met one of the guys from carma, they seem like they do good work. My spare well is rotted out but I have a new one to weld in. Im pretty sure my floor boards are in good shape too.

[HarryPR]

The spare well isn't too expensive, compared to other sheet metal parts. I got a new one for the touring and, IIRC it was less than $300, even though it's unique to the touring model.

BTW, are you planning to go to the Bimmermeet at Road Atlanta the Saturday after next? We'll be there with my E21 Baur and my daughter's Shark.

[mpower5266]

I might, Im Petit Lemans this coming weekend. Im not sure about the bimmermeet yet, but I would love to go.

[HarryPR]

Hopefully it will dry out before the weekend. I wanted to go to the race and do all the BMW CCA Oktoberfest deal, but couldn't take the whole week off work to be there both weekends.

[mpower5266]

So are you back in Atl?

[HarryPR]

Nah... I wish....I'm flying in next Wednesday and staying until Sunday.....

[mpower5266]

Let me know I would love to check out the touring, I havent seen one in person before.

[Bimmerteck]

the '02 looks much better than when i last saw it, keep up the good work.
