1976 BMW 2002 - BY MR. DEW

5 minute(s) of a 111 minute read

ill have pics of the rust up later tonight. The passenger florr board is rusted thro, but the other floor boards are solid and so is the frame. I am going to see if I can get a drive side door skin, if not it may be patchable and I have an idea for the rocker panals that may work. 1976 was the last year they made the 2002 for who ever asked. 

Now for the rust. Overall not bad, I am going to be looking for a driver side door skin. The passenger side floor board is gone but atleast all it is is a square. The spare tire well has very minor rust, and of couse the rockers will be ripped out and replaced. I am pretty happy with the looks of it. BMW used a lot A LOT of adhesive on EVERYTHING haha but i tihnk it helped save the car by keeping the water away from the metal.

here are the pics:

Its raining out and my camera isnt working : ( but I took some molding off of the car. The rust does not look too bad, but it looks like the passenger door has been replaced at some point, becase there is red paint under the white paint.

Well it looks like I am putting most of the money aside for the engine rebuild that I will be doing my second semester out at school. But with that being said not much body work will be completed in the mean time. Right now as she sits I cleaned her up a little but, and removed all of the side molding. The marker lights will be staying.I am debating on two diffrent colors, wither a shade of white or any shade of blue.

opinions?

By the end of this semester I have to make up my mind on what I want to put into this engine. Any ideas are welcome so far I have no idea, there are soo many decisions to make. 

I want to try to put together a "wish" list and make up my mind somehow. 

any suggestions would be great! : ) 

Thanks!
