Woody's 68 Resto/Mod Project

[Squatch Pads]

It's probably time that I share, since I've seen some fantastic projects going together. I started this December of 2004 with the idea of just repainting. As it sits today, it's completely gone through a transformation. Money pit doesn't describe what this project has become. Here is the link to the photo album. It will be updated periodically as I get closer. My goal is to have it on the road this summer. http://picasaweb.google.com/werrea/BMWRestoration

Very nice work...now I should have gone with side draft carb...that's why project will never end. Life is fun!

Very nice progression, I'm in the first stages of my 75 build (all stripped down now) so I will bookmark this thread for my motivation!!

I'll do some research, but I'm interested in your Alfa BBK, keep us updated as how your bias is once on the road/track. I'm building a track (barely street) car so I'm looking at brakes right now.

If your across the river you should attend our bi weekly meetings. Every Thursday. We switch locations, so you have to keep an eye out on the PNW2002 Yahoo Group posting. Also putting together a corral for the Portland Historics in July.

how did you make the rocker cover shinny?

You are the only other person I know now with a Tampico car. There is one fellow with an 1800 that races it but I have yet to see another 02 with Tampico.

Mine is originally Tampico. Did you just pick that color or was your car actually supposed to be this color originally?

[Squatch Pads]

My car original was built with color of chamonix. So when I was debating on which color to go with I wanted to go with an original color to the year, but choose something that was different and not often seen. In our local club there are at least 5 chamonix cars. Didn't want to add another. I love the color of Tampico. Has that vintage look, and although not flashy, does stand out. I like things that are a little different.

wow great work anthony. i didnt realize you went with a rack. i keep checking for updated pics and like what im seeing.

[stealthbimmer]

wow, awesome...howd you mount the fogs?

[Squatch Pads]

Created a bracket to mount just inside the grill openings. Stole the idea from a fellow NW 02'r that I went on a drive with a few years back in Seattle. He flashed me from behind, and I was like, where did those come from. Not much room, so you have to ensure you use really thin housings. I'll see if I can't get a better closer picture and post.

New pictures added. We got it on the ground for the first time in a couple of years. Weather in Portland wasn't that great today, so cloudy and overcast, so the pictures are a little mute...but it sure looks nice with the new wheels. The hood was a challenge to adjust and we took a couple of hours adjusting the doors and installing new glass.

[bingbong]

the hood still looks as if it needs some more adjusting, I know that thing is such a dam pain in the back side!
