if you do all the work yourself including cutting and replacing/welding rusted metal, it will cost you around 10K to finish all the items in the bucket list based on current prices. If you hire a shop, or many shops in succession to complete different tasks, it will cost you around 20K and up. Speaking from my experience. But, looks like a complete tii, so it is worth whatever you spend on her. Congrads.

Knocked off the major dirt and grim this afternoon.  She cleaned up real nice, much better than I thought.  

 

I attached a few photo post cleaning and some interior shots I got around to taking.  Next up, getting her fuel drained and going through the Rob's dormant tii starting procedure.

Turned out very nice!  Original '74-only seats in rear and right front!  Door cards look beautiful.  The gold tone to the engine compartment paint is typical of "mature" original Polaris PVC-frei paint in an engine compartment.  My '76's engine compartment took on an identical tone -- no other areas had such a strong shift from silver to gold!

 

Lovin' that gorgeous DS21!

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

Thanks.  

 

Thanks.  I love the early 70 BMWs, even the bike is a '73.

 

The DS21 (good eye) is from an affliction gained during a couple of summers I worked in college at a classic car place which was a formal Maserati / Citroen dealer.  I enjoy confounding the SC locals wtih it from time to time.  Unfortunately it is currently non-operational with a couple of issues.

Very nice...

 

As to your snorkel... looks like the front clip was replaced, evidenced by the welds on the seams just behind the headlight buckets.  ...stuff happens

 

Looks like you've done well; congrats.

    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
