Meanwhile on the left coast, Steve J is figuring out how to pack Scheels for a cross country, border-crossing trip.

Kris,

We missed you at Vintagefest!

Very neat project. What a great way to start having all of the paint and bodywork already done. You can just get right on with the build. Check with Ben T, im sure he has a tail light for you.

Cheers,

Martin

Scheels arrived safe and sound from SF thanks to Steve J and his packing prowess. If you ever need to ship yourself via UPS he's your man.

The seats will be black corduroy and vinyl as I don't want a tan/sahara car. The seats are off to New Image in Toronto next week to be redone...they did the seats of my tii as well. I like the guys there, they spend a lot of time working on early Mercedes, BMW and Porsches.

Materials are from Gerritt of NML in Germany.

Finally a bit of an update. My new job has really been cramping my style. Plus we are renovating a house (which will have a ton more garage space). My goal is to drive this to the Vintage so I have had to enlist some outside help with this part of the build. In steps Usic Choi from Total Motor Werkes who's been helping me maintain my tii. His guys will be stripping the wheel wells (which weren't prepped properly) and doing POR15 & chassis coat in the wells plus underbody. Then they will install my Alpina suspension, BBK and restored subframes...rear will be an E30 setup from 2002haus. In the interim I will work on getting the interior sorted out plus sourcing a slew of other bits. At the same time, the 2.5L build will be starting as the short block has arrived. Time to break down the 2.3L donor and send the head out for porting.

Can't wait for more updates Kris! Everything looks good. I spy a USPS Priority Mail box (possibly from BLUNT).

As hard as I tried I couldnt get that EVO block and crank in a flat rate. you should have seen the fedex guy lugging that block up the stairs of the freedom bunker

This is going to be one of those cars that raises the bar. Like a modded Bill Williams car

First time I've ordered anything for an 02 that came on a pallet. For a brief while, I had a hybrid VW Golf with TDi power up front and M power in the back.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
