Here's a periodic update.  Hard to believe the thread started almost four years ago.  

1.  Interior (seats, door cards and rear parcel shelf) still being re-done.  Will check this week on its progress.

2.  Anodizing (window frames, drip rails and other bits) still lost in space.  Sent it east ages ago.  It was promised to be done more than a year ago and remains promised to be done.

3.  Terry made some grab rail parts with 3-d imaging.  

4.  I worked on the plastic door sills.  Before and after shown--I hope you can tell which is which.  I used some progressive grades of sanding boards to reduce the scratches then fine steel wool and plastic polish.

Any chance to get grab handle covers?  Or a 3D printing file?

Someone shared this link to the file for 3d printable grab handle ends earlier this year either here on the NK forum and or on the Facebook NK Group. I don’t have access to a printer capable of the job, but would love a couple of the ends if someone I know does have some printed out.

I’m talking to a friend who may have access to a 3D printer about the handle pieces...stay tuned, should know something on whether it can be done or not in a week or two.

Got the interior back, and I think it looks very good.  One of the pictures has a couple scraps of original vinyl for color comparison.  The anodized window frames and other pieces are scheduled to arrive from the east coast next Tuesday.

Thanks again to Peter for the seats.  He'll be glad to know that under the fancy new vinyl I left the somewhat scruffy metal frames and rusty springs as is, although I might soak the springs in some de-ruster.

Sides of the seat bolsters were reinforced with some aluminum.

I'll reach out and see if they made any progress.  Everyone I know seemed to get busy during the holidays and I haven't reconnected with everyone yet ?

I am working on printing them too, I need 2 sets and I will make them for whoever needs.  I want to work on the texture so its as close to original as possible.


As noted previously I would like a set of handles,  too.

    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
