Thanks Steve! I might have told Golfie the same thing last year - but this year the Bavarian stars are aligning and am ready! Parts, I need more parts...Double 02 Salvage and 2002 AD here I come...

Finally swapped out my steering box, which has been a while in the making. I also adjusted my front wheel bearings since I had the car jacked up and I could feel a bit of play. 

 

I don’t go back to work until Monday so I have a few other jobs planned in this time including some detailed planning for my A/C fitment. A friend of mine was twisting my arm into installing my Solex sidedrafts that have sat on the shelf (literally and figuratively) for a long time. Not sure if I want to open that can of worms this week.

Now with Bilsteins, Eibach sports springs, Jaymic front fixed camber plates, new strut top mounts. 

Stripped and painted front suspension.

Handbrake lever upgrade, (great mod).

Full hard line and flexible hose replacement, servos removed and painted, along with battery tray and chassis leg.

Alternator stripped, cleaned tested and refitted.

Evil warm up regulator to metal pipe hose replaced (actually wasn’t that bad a job)

Wheel wells throughly cleaned and sealed with built hamner, all cavities drenched in same sort of product, really great stuff (I live near the ocean and this stuff really works).

New front discs, pads, wheels bearings, rear drums, shoes, wheels cylinders.

Knee operation in the middle of all of this, and cut my hand open on the hard line mount on the strut (rookie error) slowed my progress dreadfully and I got a bit fed up as many things were breaking as I went along, but that’s classic car fettling!!

Its taken bloody ages with all the less than optimum luck, but hey that’s how it goes?

First decent drive today and I’d highly recommend bilsteins and eibachs, nice firm compliant ride, the camber plates definately change turn in.

Now onto the rust, the magic tin lighteners never sleep, so new passenger door and other frilly bits to tidy up, all in all turning into a really nicely preserved standard looking tii, which is a lovely car to drive.

swapped out the 8 yr old Braille AGM battery that was starting to die for a Big Crank AGM.

 

hmmm....think these were made by the same company and rebranded?  the braille cost 2x more.

There are numerous threads about this on other forums, the thinking is that they are all made by the same company (Deka) but are labelled based on how they test after being manufactured.

No pictures, but I found the rev limiter in the M2 yesterday.  Man, that thing is no joke.

 

Hopefully you had both hands on the wheel ?

    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
