Photoshoot with Draco02's 2002Tii

[SkiFree]

I just put this up on the FAQ sight but thought some of you over here might enjoy this as well......

Draco02 (bmw2002faq.com) recently finished a pretty exhaustive restoration on his Tii, some of you might have seen the car out at SoCalVintage this last weekend. I wanted to try to playing photographer (no JRHONE!) and snap some more shots.

The car was a full restoration with helpings from the Turbo parts bin, 3-piece Epsilon wheels, original Talbot green-dot mirror, lots of cad plating, and a couple of things from the Ireland Engineering catalogue. Hope you enjoy.

Oh good lord...I am in love. And I don't normally take the time to make silly comments like this. Wow.

Very cool. I had plans to make my '74 Verona 2002 look something like this... but sold it before I did much to it.
Nice to see people taking the time to do it right. Rock on.

Perfect looking car!

That is gorgeous! What kinda power is putting down.

Also. next time I would recommend a background that isn't so similarly colored to the car.

So when is the front going to be lower? Because that is killing an otherwise amazing car.

It's a tii, 140 crank.
