I'm at a total of 2 coils cut at this point and can't imagine that I should have to cut more to make it look right but still seems to sit a little high. I have 215/40/16 on now but I'm thinking 215/55/would make it look appropriate. Is that too big?

It's hard to see the difference but the one coil dropped it one inch even.

 

 What springs are you cutting that gives you these results?

I don't give a fird gen, carbretted, alyoominiuhm, tickity boo!... wiff an ole in the boot!

I finally finished my custom carpet install!  I’ve been working on this for almost 2 months now. It’s been a lot of effort and a lot of learning, but I’m super happy with how it came out. It all fits

So for grins on my gas stinking trunk, I used a bar of Ivory soap around the edge of the tank. Still mounted in the trunk just to see if anything would happen.  Open trunk today and 85% of smell is gone.    Looks like I'm pulling a tank over the winter,got a be the seams for sure I would think.

 

Years ago a, endurance racing a fireman told us you can rub Ivory Soap on a gas tank leak and the fat content will seal it for quite awhile.  Ivory worked the best  cause 99% pure.  Worked great on the car we racing at the time.

If you cut your dog's nails too short and they bleed, you can rub soap into the end of the nail to stop the bleeding as well.

Reinstalled and tuned DCOE 40s. 38 DGES just wasn't doing it for me. The motor (bored to 92mm, stroked with an M3 crank, clicky-clacking with a Schrick cam and a 123 jingle-jangler) loves the 40s. Things are a bit rich at idle, but it goes like stink with no hesitation or flat spot, right up to red line. Sounds much better as well. Vintage prep complete. See you all next May in Asheville.

You need to re-use that part, hopefully you installed it.  There's a spec distance it needs to be from the mount, it's a travel limiter

    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
