replacing whole floor pan?

Usually, it's replaced in sections- 

you run a smaller risk of parallelogramming the 

shell that way.  Plus, the tunnel doesn't usually rust.

Often, though, if there are big holes in the floor, the rockers

need work, too.

 

Walloth and Nesch, despite their location,

are often the cheapest...

Parallelogramming... dreaded final stages of Instagramming. Talk to your friends, before it’s too late. 

 

Seriously, replace the floor in sections.

...and the firewall/pedal box. If the corrosion on the FP is internal you will be into the firewall. On the '72 I welded in the floor drain plugs. Given that you would only do this mod after replacing the windshield gasket and heater box rebuild you won't need them;) 

I had an awful time getting my hand with the sheet metal welds. I'm a pipe fitter/welder by trade but taht was all pipeline, powerhouse and refinery work. Heavy pipe and big heat. One thing that helped me was to pound a piece, I used 1 1/2, of copper pipe flat and use it to back up your welds. Takes some of the heat out and both sped up the job and improved the result.

    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
