Hey Guys,
I thought that some of you might be interested to follow my progress on the rebuilding for my M20 car that got hit a few years ago. Long story short, the insurance company reluctantly shelled over almost the maximum amount to get the rear fixed after getting rear ended on 101 South bound at Hospital Curve in San Francisco. If it weren't for the former owner and he being an attorney that specializes in insurance none of this would have been possible. He is a fellow gear head with a love for classics and he couldn't bare to hear what the insurance company was trying to do to me.
I have the thread posted on the 2002 FaQ Board. Here is the link: http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/...opic/t,339365/
The speed at which the car is put back together will be determined on my ability to sign over checks, so it may be slow going, but it's going!
If you have any questions let me know.

The work on the 02 is starting to shape up and look like an 02 again. It's been a long time in the making. Slowly but surely the car is getting put back together. Here is a teaser photo:
I think the all the body work and paint should be finished up by July. I won't be home again until December, so my buddies will start in on the mechanical until I get home. I still need to find a Super Sprint 323 M20 header and they seem to be very challenging to find.
Follow the link above to see the full set of photos. Thanks for taking a look.
Just got some new photos from the body shop...
Can you see what is going to be kinda unique about my '02? Need to build out a 2.7 or better yet just take it out of my touring and ship it back to California.
