OMG, Barney!!!  That's a museum piece. You're going to get a call from Munich, saying they want their tii back!! DAMN. 

 

Excellent job! Mary and I will be in Austin in February. I hope to connect with you and Tori then! I will miss MidAmerica 02 Fest next April. We will be on a Viking River cruise then...

 

SALUTE!

Here’s the legendary Barney in his natural environment. Hard at work, perfecting his craft. He tells me, “ this Tii is my best work”  I think he’s right, but all the cars he’s done are beautiful.

You will never find a happier, or more generous guy to work around either.

The world needs more Barneys, I think...

 

Have a great weekend, everyone. Go be like Barney.

It's driving ok.  Still a couple of little things- like getting the exhaust header to not hit the chassis.  The adjustable Koni's are actually pretty nice.  I've got the GC spec'd units- I'd recommend them.  I still need to chop the strut tubes to pick up a couple inches of bump travel. (If you think tii strut tubes are expensive, try e30m3 tubes- holy crap.)  The tinted windows are helping a lot to keep the interior cool.  I've pulled about 200 pounds out of the car so far, might be able to get another 100-150 when it's all said and done- adding lightness is a wonderful thing.

 

Next big thing is the Haltech ECU...

    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
