Barney...being a fellow TX 02er....need lots more info on that kit!  I went to their site and it all looks really affordable!  How will that long console fit under the dash?  No center console?  More info please and reviews!  For under a grand...it looks amazing!

I had an unsightly square of removed paint due to a removed scuba sticker from a p/o.  I had Riley (bluebmw) make an appropriate sticker to cover the ugliness. Much better now.

Like the leather wrap on the dash!  Did you order that from somewhere or is it custom?

1975 Malaga. It is rusty and  springs an occasional leak.  Just like me.

After trailering it home from New Orleans 7 years ago, the '73 Sahara is finally alive and running!  Zero spark initially, so reinstalled the old points and cap, and fussed with wiring connections.  Gave it one more try, and it lit right off.  Idled for 25 minutes to verify choke and cooling system worked, set idle speed and mixture, checked dwell, and disconnected the horns, which were blowing spontaneously at random times.  Next up: set timing and fix gas gauge and horns.  Then drive.

Rear package shelf and trunk installation? Front parcel shelf installation? We’re sitting on the edges of our seats, Barney!

 

Best regards,

First test piece on using the cnc milled dies went pretty good. Although one thing we noticed was the metal buldging/making a sharp corner on both sides of the pressed form. Although I rounded the corners to match the curve of the bent panel.

As it's my first time designing some die like this, I'll go a head and ask some of my colleagues at work what they think could be my problem. Hopefully we can get this right as it looks pretty promising right now.

That is an amazing effort you’re going to for the Tray drain recesses. Absolutely top shelf. I feel like there were irregularities in the OEM stampings as well. I understand and appreciate wanting to make something technically perfect, but what you have there is already 99.9%. I’d trim the openings and move on. 
 

stellar, just stellar

    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
