Woo! Progress! :-P

Great Kris - The headliner install looks very clean. Good luck with the rear quarter windows (give the forum a search before you try installing the seal for tips, etc.) - it was a frustrating job for me.

Its gonna be one sweet car when your done mate!

A few updates...

-car is a week away from clearing the interior shop - carpet is in, all windows, seals etc. (except one rear vent which they have broken/lost twice).

-rear 635 seats have been test fitted and now need to be dyed. I think they need to be cut a little more on the back to get a tight fit as they seem to be sitting about 2" away now.

It's really looking great and I can start to see the finished product, hopefully I will be driving this summer!

Here are some pics from tonight..most of the trim is on, or on its' way on. Interior is 90%, no motor yet. Front seats are superb and the kids love the 6 series rear buckets.

Next I am cleaning up the engine bay's wiring, trying to figure out how the hell the stainless hard brake lines go on, and going to home depot for stainless hardware.

Sorry the whole car is dusty, the paint really does look amazing when its' clean (I'll be saying that forever with a black car)

dead photo links...sorry

Kris, i know what you mean about a black car getting dusty real quick - horrible trying to keep them clean even in the garage isnt it?

Cant wait to see it in full sunlight, finished and clean! Keep up the great work.

Wow very nice. It looks all snug in there. Is there a reason you guys didn't drop it in with the tranny already mated to it? I'm just curious.

Just less chance of smashing stuff with my ham hands. That and it's sooo much fun being under the car bolting stuff up

The only thing I saved was a piston that looks like it landed on a grenade there is so much detonation on it.

Nice part is the motor drops straight in without issue. Getting the tranny home on the motor is hit or miss. Last time I did this I had my charming wife on the floor jack and it went straight home. Tonight was a different story.

4+ hours to install the E21 5 speed. It is a tight fit to say the least. It took some major "motivation", 2 floor jacks and a little speaking in tongues to get it home. John, think of the worst job on your car and I'm your man!

    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
