I've been dying to do a roof like that. Is it a Webasto? Have you blasted water at it or driven at triple-digit speeds yet? How was the install generally? Cheers!

Webasco was very anal about selling to "professionals" only. They ony offer an electric modle anyway This one came from Streetbeat Custom out of Arizona. http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/ragtopsunroofs.html. Have not had it above 70 yet/ wind noise is comparable to my 75 with factory sunroof. Must open the quarter windows with the sunroof or you get pressure pulses. Passed rain test last Wed. no leaks

Installation was pretty straight forward, cut hole, drill holes, and install frame with bolts. Frame is very solid so roof is probably stiffer now than the sheet metal was. Also bought a couple of yds of matching headliner material and had local shop make new headliner using old one as a pattern. It was an easier installation than on my 75 with factory SR.

not sure of the laws of your state, but here in cali i think you just admitted to at least one felony!! (later in the thread) vin swapping is a big nono, at least 'round these parts (which i notice you aint 'round! ;)) NICE car anyway, and i too love that style of sunroof!! :)

Sr is a 35x 35.

No vin issues here, I'd be hard pressed to to say which chasis contributed the most parts. The car is compiled from many donors Everything that moves and rolls came from the tii along with some sheet metal. Bottom line is it is registered as the one that came with a title.

The 76 shell turned out pretty well didn't it ? Very nice job on saving a Tii and using a great color with a fabric roof. Here's a picture of my son driving our project car.

    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
