What did you do to your 2002 today !

['76mintgrün'02]

Loading the car now and then I will drive it west on I-90 as far as I can on the 1500 mile return trip to Washington.  No more FAQ fun for me for a few days.  No smart phone... no radio... and not the least bit boring.  I sure like driving my car.  Hopefully it goes as smoothly as the trip out!

I bought a 2nd one to keep it company. 

 

 

 

 

 

The cheapest price was from a figurine shop in japan, even with shipping the exchange rate made it worth it. 

Just... uh... 

 

 

 

Yeah, japan. 

 

Kyosho Original 1/18 BTW. Really nicely detailed.  Usually you see those race cars or turbo models, but my car doesn't look anything like those.  This is a tii, but close enough.

Love those wheels on the model.

Loaded up the 73 inka tii this morning  headed off to see my brother in Jasper, Arkansas then up to Bucks County Pennsylvania for a four day covered bridges tour with a bmw classic club group, over to Boston to visit some friends and then up to Saratoga springs New York for the vintage event there…

Doesn't look like it.  If you could send them that'd be great.

 

Thanks!

Those came on my car. PO painted them body color, I just recently added a couple layers of fiberglass to the inside contour to stiffen them up a bit. Then painted shiny chrome with a spray can. You can't get much lighter that those but just make sure you  never contact anything w/ them.  If the diving boards are 5 mph impact these are 0.25 mpg impact. 

 

My PO did add a section of galvanized pipe behind the rear bumper to provide some minor strength but nothing extra for the front bumper.  I do like them for what they are and they are inexpensive.

I used Rustoleum 7718830 Bright Coat Chrome.  Make sure you shake it good throughout, on my final coat it dried a bit cloudy. Looked excellent after the first coats but got duller after the final coat. I think I didn't shake the can properly.

Final piece of the Weber upgrade puzzle, fitted Pipercross filter, RHD with no servos leaves plenty of room for a big filter. Now for the tuning tweaks!
