Aluminum Door cards

Finally got around to getting mine mounted.

 

Just temporary, I'm going to paint the vinyl on the upper strip and armrest, as well as the bright green clips.

I used 3M spray adhesive to glue the vinyl to the metal top strip and then cut it flush so it looks a little nicer.

 

Fit is pretty good, I had to re-adjust the chrome piece on the upper strip so I could slide the door card over to the right to get the holes to line up better.

 

Also had to grind the holes for the armrest slightly, contacted the seller who said that I probably got a prototype piece and offered to ship me new ones, so it's good he stands behind his product.  I decided to just spend the 5 minutes with a grinder to get it to fit.

 

Overall, I'm happy with it.

At some point under the previous ownership the door cards got  wet and bloated at the bottom, so I purchased the plywood version from Dave. Pre-drilled with all the holes just ready for me to slap the skins on them. The end result is beautiful!

    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
