Made my Ant-Gravity battery tray.  All angle steel, pretty sure it weighs more than the battery.

I did screw up though, put the hold down bar directly over the Reset button, nothing a hole can't fix, and a pen.

 

Now just waiting for the paint to dry before I install it.

Learned where the power wire for the starter is after being push started leaving the C&C. It had vibrated loose and was just hanging there.

That happens. ? mash the terminal a bit tighter and maybe support the wire somewhere.

Lifted the engine to re&re the pan gasket.  Learned a new trick:  cooling system can be left intact with only rad bolts removed.  734005807_liftengine.jpg.cb71ba8a34fd29bab86507382470e8d4.jpg

 

Job done.   Looking forward to a Sunday drive, tomorrow. 

Clearly the Pelican Auto Parts sticker was the deciding factor in successfully completing the fix.

Borrowed the engine lift.  I never really inspected that sticker.  Good eye...or you've bought a lot of stuff from them...and have the same sticker.

Took the 71 to the 24th annual sleepy hollow rod run (British Columbia), took 1st place in import class, beat a Ferrari, he was somewhat miffed. I would have been happy with second and beating him. A good day for bmw!

And so you should.  It would be good to see you and your car in Vancouver sometime.  We could line up the 02s in a spectrum of colors.  I don't think we have a Golf car in the city, that I know of.

 

Congrats on the win!  The car looks sweet.

Dude stop holding out on us.  At least make it to the last Cars and Coffee at Spanish Banks.   It may be the last time you see it before my caterpillar transforms into a beautiful turbo (LOL). 

 

The sunshine coast isn't that far away.

    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
