Replacement frame rails

Recommended Posts

Grab them while you can. ON SALE at Restoration design.

They are the same rail supplied from Walloth and Nesch, which now only has the right rail left. You are probably looking at the only source of that part, and you need to take what is available. At least grab the left one from RD while you can. 

Loose: Not tightly bound. Subject to motion.
Lose: What happens when you are spell check dependent.

 

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

The only issue to resolve  (I think) is that you have to do a little mod on them for your 72. The rails come with the pocket for the impact bumper.

….and like most of us, way too many (maybe 30 at last count) I wish I hadn't sold ?

Are we sure they are the same as w&n ? 

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

Looking at having both frame rails replaced on my 72. Anyone have any experience with the Restoration Designs frame rails vs the Factory replacements?

How much of the rails is bad? If it’s only a small section you might be better off cutting out the bad section and welding in new metal (at least from a cost perspective). That, or... try posting in WTB. I’m sure there are plenty of spares laying around that might be of use to you (seems like people are tearing down fairly repairable cars for parts more often these days).

They actually aren't that bad, but I am restoring the body and want it to be rust free. I would rather just have new metal in there so I know its done for now.

    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
