What did you do to your 2002 today !

[Greg R aka Big_Lebowski]

Spent the better part of Friday with two good friends helping Ed Z prep his 67 BMW 2000CS Coupe for paint. Managed to squeeze in a quick install of a new thermostat for Stella.  Oh, and the wheels Barney has decided on for his Turkis are spot on!

So jealous.

Glad this new thread is so popular.  21 pages and counting.  I just went thru most of them since I've been a little absent.

+1 on jealous....looks like Santa lil' workshop. It must be hard with all that eye candy around

Barney's place makes working on a car so much easier. He really does have it figured out. 

 

Not to mention he's about the nicest guy you'll ever meet.

After quite some time I started again with the rust repair on the Touring

 

The replacement panel of WN wasn't quite right so I made a few cuts to push the panel a bit more inside

 

I first tacked in the new panel and then removed the middle piece of metal as it was quite pitted.

 

Fully welded in.

 

Ground down

D.Martijn - whats your plan for the line up issue with the new panel and the outer rocker panel? I notice the outer sticks out drastically. I'm curious how you plan to deal with that (photos when you get to it would be great).

I drove it for the first time in a while. Started right up and drove like a champ! I took it out for some ethanol free gas, since it needed a fill up.

Do you mean making a new panel for it? I plan on replacing the outer rocker too, so I wasn't very careful when cutting that section off.

As far as I know there is some space on the side between both panels. (the top flat piece is spot welded on the A pillar)

When placing the new A pillar I made sure the top of the outer rocker panel will mate against the flat piece of the A pillar (again for when I have to spot weld the new rocker on).

I hope it's my explanation is a clear for you, if not make sure to ask.
