Several folks have told me that it deserves to be trailered the first couple of times out. I've built the thing to be driven. Call it a sin, but anybody here who has had a nice 02 knows that at some point you want to do what everyone else does with theirs (well almost everyone else, no off-roading he he) so you have to give in.

I'm no more concerned about it than anyone would be with a new car. After that first rock ding, you get over it :)

I drove it 1000 miles very hard in a vintage rally. Yeah I've got some rock chips but I also have the satisfaction of knowing that the car looks good AND runs great.

Yes.

I did convey a great deal of how that works to the group I was with in Arkansas a couple of weeks ago.

I plan to discuss all that at the end, and who knows it might even be in book form, if the story is worth telling ;)

The nyloc nuts you are using for the trailing arms need a little longer bolt, you need 1-1/2 treads min through the nut for it to lock properly, but no more than 8 theads showing. I'm not ranking on your project it's the best ever.....thanks.....Marty.....

    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
