Starting my first attempt at metal fabrication and welding to fix PO’s previous sins. Figured I should learn on the parts covered by carpet.

 

Started with a hammer form to create the bead. 
 

 

lots of hammering later I had the beginning of something.

 

fitted up quite well. Hopefully, I’ll get to welding it in tomorrow.

After 43 years of ownership stripping the car to go off to paint. Need to get it done before I can’t do some of this stuff anymore.

Were getting pretty close to weld in the outer sill and quarter panel now.
I started on preparing the rocker panel, removed the factory black coating where we will be welding and scuffed up the surfaces and applied two coats of Corroless

 

We pushed the door a little more towards the outside, but asking a couple of other people that have an 02, it seems that soms of them also have this "issue" with the stainless steel trim sticking out a little at the front lower corner of the door. Also some picture online had this as well.
The other side is a bit better on our Touring though. Especially when we also fit the fender which pushes the trim more towards the inside of the car.
Pushing the door even more outside might help it a little but but, it will mess up the alignment at the B pillar.

 

 

We might bring the door a little bit higher, but overall it's pretty good now

 

 

When test fitting the quarter panel in the end I trimmed it a little bit too much and have just a smidge too wide of a gap. My brother suggested to place a brass strip behind the quarter with some slots in it.
This was we can clamp the original and new repair panel together with the little clamps

 

 

 

In the meantime, we decided to go with dual solex carburators on the Touring.

We found a full "kit" in Germany that includes pretty much everything, carbs, airfilter housing, throttle linkages..
I already found a guy that is reproducing the Ti water pipe as well. We just need to find a Ti/Tii brake booster but I might have already found a guy, he just needs to have a look but is on vacation right now.

 

Of course we will also need the correct distributor with the mechanical advance. I remembered we had a couple of spare distributors laying in the attic and would you have a look! We got the correct one, it's meant to be hahah

 

 

I also got the rain gutter trim of the 02 Touring from Walloth&Nesch since it's been available again!

Got my Kooglewerks Limmerfelgen wheels, wrapped and mounted on the car!

 

 

Really happy with the overall look, and the fit and finish of the wheel is great

I finished rebuilding one strut assembly today. The new hat wasn’t turning freely on my first attempt. Even after laying the parts in order of removal I was still missing a washer. I found the washer sticking to the old hat in the garbage can and put it together again. Voila!
