Like those front foglight mounts--looks like you took advantage of the big bumper mount holes to fabricate brackets for your lamps.  Post a closeup of the mount when you have time...

 

And welcome to the fraternity/sorority--lotsa nice folks and good advice on the board.

Actually I patched up the holes then made those aluminum brackets. They are quite simple actually. I will take a few pics tomorrow for sure. Also, I will start a build thread for my car. I have been working on it/modifying it on-and-off for about 2 years now and the car is my daily driver. But I have a lot of pics of the things my father and I did to the car, there are a couple cool one-off things on it. Anyways its my first car (I'm 17, almost 18) and has been in my family pretty much since it was new. Was my mom's in high school, then my grandpa kept it, then he finally gave the car to me. It has gone a loooonggg way let me tell you!  ^_^

Just a quick update, I started a project blog for my car titled Not Bad For a First Car. I will be posting pictures and information on the work i have done and will do in the future on the car. There are still a lot of things I need to post on it to get the car fully up to date, but it has a few good pictures and some info already. http://www.bmw2002faq.com/blog/79-not-bad-for-a-first-car/

 

Im very glad there are communities like this where experience can be shared and where everyone has the same sort of passion for these cars.

    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
