2000CS tear down started today

Thanks!  I wanted to be at this point last month, but I'm happy we are here now.  I've always said that a grown man will cry when the paint comes off a Coupe, but in this case, I can say that I have been very Blessed with a good car.  There are some minor pin holes in evidence after the blasting, but nothing at all serious.  Full steam ahead...

I found some close matching grey speaker cloth (my interior's grey) and covered the whole back shelf in my NK with some decent 6x9's underneath. You don't see them unless you know they're there. 

 

Your car's going to come out better than the factory effort

Thanks, Nick. I need to sort something out. I have the single speaker in the dash for that sweet AM and SW monotone. I have a jack on the back of the Blaupunkt to hook up modern electronics.

That is one sweet Blaupunkt! 

 

Vern has speakers under the dash and back seat bulkhead, put there by a PO.

Athena has speakers in the front kick panels & rear parcel shelf, put there by a PO.

 

Upgraded all the speakers with Rockford Fosgates. Vern's system is all run through a Memphis Audio Amp.

What I've also done is hook an iLive bluetooth receiver in the the auxiliary port in Vern and Athena's  glove boxes.

Car now epoxy primed and has several coats of Lizard Skin sound deadener on the floors and heat resistant coating on the ceiling and firewall. Body work has commenced as well.

That last pic is the absolute worst section on the car. It had a ton of filler from previous owner. Under that was a significant crease/dent. We replaced a large chunk of that with a W&N panel. Still it was ugly. Everything below the mid-bodyline was pushed in :(

The rest of the car is pretty minor in comparison.

Are you doing the body prep and paint yourself or subbing it out?

 

I removed most of the paint with 3M discs on an angle grinder, then sent it out to be media blasted to remove paint in the hard to reach areas. 

 

My friend at this shop is painting the car. http://www.bloodshedmotors.com/

    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
