Thought, well if the console is going back in better fit my rebuilt heater

Put on the skinny 13's and took it to the post office.

Everything worked great but, I think this pandemic is gonna force me to address the bodywork soon.

Started off pouring on us, but ended up being a beautiful morning with a lot of cars showing up to our monthly C&C.

Solid turnout this morning for our ATX 2002 and Vintage BMW C&C.  We’ve cancelled the last two months event due to the pandemic and decided to give it a try this month with social distancing encouraged.  Had 4 drive in from San Antonio, 1 from Bryan and 1 from Dallas.  Already looking forward to next months event!

This week I received the reproduction doorskins from Jaymic in th UK.

Very pleased with the result, however the pocket for the door handle could have been formed a little bit better.

I'm not sure if I'll leave it like this or cut out the original section from the old skins, any suggestions/input?

I also planished the rain tray a little more, added the original wiring clips back.

(After talking to a 02 owner in Belgium, he send me pictures of his rain tray and on this the same clips are used like I'm making at the moment.) On mine they are a little narrower + longer.

 

First I spot welded the speed nuts plates on the back, these are used to fix the hinge plate for the throttle on the carb.

Carefully removed the paint and added some weld thru primer where the clips need to be spotwelded

On the back side of the rain tray (the side facing the firewall) there is some small step between the original piece and the repair panel I welded in. This is mainly because of the thickness of the plates. However, I remembered taking of the original sound deadning and turns out it'll cover this step. It's hard to see on photo though

I also prepared the underside of the hood latch panel with weld through primer where I need to spotweld the panels together.

Just got back from letting my 18 year old daughter drive a stick shift for her first time in my 02.  She's been begging me to teach her, and my response has always been, no honey not in my 02.  She just graduated HS, been a tough year for seniors, and will be moving away to college this Fall.  I got to thinking, I can always get a new clutch, but I can't get back this time with her.  

She did okay, few stalls, few chirps, taught her the virtues of the RPM gauge. I think she's already posted it on her social media. We're going to keep practicing, what a great Father's Day!.

    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
