We received the first test/mock-up panel back from Bill the upholstery guy with the leather I chose.

 

What do you think? I really like it:

I went up to Racecraft yesterday to pick up the Koepchen 02 to bring home for winter storage. While there I got a good look at the street 2002 Terry is building for me.

 

It is turning out better than I could have hoped for. Terry has been working on the grill, rear lights and trim, wiring, etc. He has also been preping the engine bay for installation of the S14.

 

I am particularly pleased with how the custom fenders turned out. They add just the right amount of muscularity to the otherwise slab sides.

 

Here are some pictures I shot:

Time for another update.

 

Terry has been prepping the engine for fitment. This engine came from Rey Rivera and had been in a 2002. It had the correct mounts with it as well as a modified oil pan to clear the front cross member. It also has some bling I am not sure about. Terry is going to Scotch-brite it a little to take off some of the polish. He will also repaint the fuel rail and clean up some other stuff.

We have a carbon air box similar to the one I have in my Asahi-Kiko M3 that we are going to use. It means deleting the brake booster and doing some other mods to make it fit. I'll post pictures as that process starts.

All the hardware for the front suspension came back from the plater as well so Terry can begin finally assembly. I'll post some pictures as that comes together in a few days.

Nice work, and a great vision to work towards.  

 

I think those are my favorite flares - but what you did with them makes them even better.  

 

Keep up the updates!

Yes I know. It's almost painful to the eyes.  We'll fix it.

Your build is stratospheric. I thought I was doing OK with mine. You are doing everything I dream about doing for mine. 

Will love to know when it is done. So I'll know when to stay away from McMinnville. 

If you are ever passing through Salem, please let me know so I can put mine in the garage and cover it up....

This is an amazing build.

1975 Malaga. It is rusty but runs. Just like me.

    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
