Front subframe missing tow eyes...anybody guess why?

I bought what I thought was a clean front sub-frame from a 74' 2002. Today when I was taking a close look at it, tearing it down for my project I noticed that someone chopped off the front tow eyes with a grinder. the holes in the subframe behind them were slightly tweaked, like someone put a hook in the hole and used the holes to tie down the car. Maybe the car was put on a rack? Anybody have a good logical answer to why someone would chop the stock eyes off?

When I took the subframe out for the M20 swap, I reinforced the driver's side motor mount and replaced the tow loops. One of the tow loops had broken completely off and the other was snapped in half. Before I took the subframe out I had always wondered why there was only one off-center tow loop hanging down there. :)

Yours might have rusted out or broken, and the PO probably decided they were ugly and ground them out.

I make new tow loops out of much thicker steel and welded them in well. Then I coated it all with POR15. They'll last another 25 years.

Here's a link to the webpage that describes taking the lens out.

We modified the camera at the lab where I work so we could take infrared pictures of skin tumors. We're trying to make a computer system that can detect and identify melanoma (form of skin cancer, very deadly).

Usually, pictures just come out the wrong color, but that one was just cool.

    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
