Barney, welcome back. I'm assuming that your stiffener takes the place of the sheet metal plate that would normally sandwich between the inner and out sills (IIRO, the full cabs had a, internal box-like structure beyond the simple plate)? What sort of flex are you getting in your Targas? You are well on your way to becoming THE authority on Baur Targas. Appreciated.

Mike Pugh is the Baur Authority and fountain knowledge that I drank from at least three or four times already on this Baur refresh…

 

the Baur seem plenty stiff just trying to over do it…

1) middle 14 gauge steel stiffener that I cut off to repair remove rust.

Perhaps op has addressed this elsewhere (?) but I'm curious as to why the gas welding?  I'm not a welder nor metalworker, just curious...  

here is the answer…IMG_1043.thumb.jpeg.ba68c25ad5ed4e30c0c4cfbf16de8e93.jpeg

    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

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
