The Blue Angel

My 73 tii got her new Blue paint today.  These body shots were done this evening after the first clear coat with a couple more to follow.  The hood was painted about 10 days ago but still needs to be buffed.  Looking good!  Note the Schutz Shot.  This is with the Wurth product!

Well, the morning after and she still looks great!   The car will sunbath today and probably on Wednesday get buffed out.  Some additional paint is needed in the area behind the firewall, behind the headlights, and the tops of the inner fenders.  The VIN will need to painted in primer and masked as well.  Looks like I can start reassembly as soon as Saturday.  I have an upholstery shop lined up to do the headliner the two days following labor day!

Brought it home * from the body shop today.  We have a few things to do over the weekend and on Tuesday, we will tow it to an auto upholstery shop to have the headliner installed.  This weekend's work will include the roof sound insulation and door mechanisms.  On the doors, we should start with the outer skin elements, such as the trim and the mirror brackets.  Then we can put some super thin Dynamat on the doors prior to installing the window mechanisms.

 

* 'Home' is my mom's empty garage which gives me plenty of room to work!

    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
