Not near as cool as Kbmb02 but I’ll post it  none the less.

 

’73 Chamonix-

 

I flip flopped my plans for today so I didn’t  quite finish the new brake hard lines. I still need to create the front to back line and strap everything down.

What I did make some nice progress on was the shortblock.

Cleaned/blasted/painted the oil pan. I shimmed the oil pump. Replaced the Rear main seal. Installed the front crank seal. Install the lower timing cover, oil pan, and a bunch of other painted parts. I think It might be time to mate the trans to the engine next week some time. ?

I put in rear seat belts (and one front). I wanted to share a couple of valuable tips.

 

One, when you get the bottom cushion out, if you want to access the inner bolts without removing the seat back all the way, simply prop-up it up with  your Dyson Vacuum (see photo).

 

Two, and this is very important - DO NOT tell your spouse/partner that you used the $700 plastic vacuum to prop-up the seat.

You can just stop here...  I tell her about stuff when she asks, not before.

Greg and I helped big Mike test fit the powertrain into the Touring. Tunnel will need some coercing to get the 5 speed where it needs to be, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Found some NOS fenders in Germany (where esle right.. ;) )

After 1660km of driving we arrived back home with our find. The guy selling these was a real enthusiast, he even works together with Schnitzer to make replica E9 race cars, He even invited us to come to the Nürburgring when they have a test day in the future lol.

He also has this.. not registered since 1980!!

I gave one panel a very quick test fit and am very pleased! We definitely made the right call to buy some original sheet metal :)50079123908_d9e178aa64_b.jpg

Having just done the brake lines in the engine bay, I'll comment that you should try to get the passenger side lines to lay as close to the wall of the wheel well as possible (especially right as they go through the grommets) if there is a header in your future.

    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
