My '73 Roundie Revival [BMW 2002]

Mmm that E30 is perfect in my mind. I think everything being clean is boring, gotta have that clear coat failure. You will have two very bad ass cars once your done, good work sir.

Builds like this is the exact reason why I want to find a 2002 to rebuild, you say filler work isn't your forte yet the final product looks pretty damn good

To be perfectly honest, it looks better in the pictures than in real life. There are several flaws that need to be addressed before paint. Thank you though!

The work you are doing is fantastic and one can see that your skills are getting better at each phase of the project.

Thanks, it's all a matter of practice and experience. I have a lot more confidence tackling projects now since I have more practice.

Love it! Great work. Can't wait to see it finished

Thanks! Me too.

i like your flares, they look oe.
good work

That's the plan, thank you!

the type of story everyone enjoys,

great, great job man

Appreciate it man, thank you.

Haha a part of me loves the rugged look, and a part of me wants to repaint it and make it look cherry. I haven't had much motivation to work on it lately as all my focus is on the '02 so we'll see what happens!

Another full day of work on the Roundie. I am dreaming of the day that I finish the body work on this car! So ready to have that behind me. Found another hidden glob of filler that was hiding a good sized dent in the door, so that sucked. Anyways, here we go.

Thought this looked kind of cool:



Got it down to bare metal:



Holes welded up:



Ground smooth:



Filler applied:



I forgot to snap a picture after I was done smoothing the filler, so here's how it looked after primer. Still needs some work:



Although I was a little discouraged and frustrated today working on the '02 thinking about how much more body work I have ahead of me, I cheered myself up by taking a step back and realizing how lucky I am to have an awesome work space in an amazing location where I get to work on my dream cars. I'm a very fortunate dude:

Your work is very nice inspiring me to start my 2002 this summer.

You are my hero. I would always see you sig but never clicked it because i knew i would be very jealous. Then today i saw a 2002 on the way home and i thought it would be fun to do my very first build so i found your thread. you have done amazing work, keep it up! i cant wait to see the finished product. i am determined to find a project to start working on before im 16. then i will have my dd e30 and a fun project! cant wait to see your finished product.

Looking good =)

I might have euro 2002 bumpers with the trim for sale if you want them. Still pondering over keeping the 2002 or selling and getting my dream 2800 that is local to me.

[mohamed...]

also are you using adapters, 5-lug, or fill and drill for the e38 weaves?
